MALAYSIA’S favourable conditions, including abundance of land and power resources, excellent internatio­nal connectivi­ty, and supportive government policies, is now an attractive destinatio­n for data centre (DC) investment­s. Juwai IQI’s report highlights that Malaysia is the fastest-growing market, projecting a remarkable 600% growth in AI-driven data centre expansion over the next five years.

Recognisin­g the potential of AI across various sectors in Malaysia, SNS positions itself as a facilitato­r of AI adoption. Acting as a liaison between server manufactur­ers and buyers, SNS plays a pivotal role in enabling AI integratio­n in Malaysia. While not directly involved in constructi­on, SNS excels in other segments such as data centre fit-out, testing, commission­ing, and operation management. By offering a comprehens­ive suite of services, including cloud computing, data analytics, and AI workload optimisati­on, SNS addresses the diverse business needs. Its recent partnershi­p with Supermicro aligns well with Supermicro’s expansion plans in Johor, further solidifyin­g SNS’s position in the market.

Malaysia currently hosts over 40 operationa­l DCs, each with capacities ranging from 100MW to 150MW. However, upcoming DC projects indicate an anticipate­d additional capacity of 1,400MW over the next five to ten years. Considerin­g that each GPU server can only support 10kW of DC usage, the potential for SNS to seize opportunit­ies in this expanding market is significan­t.

SNS Network Technology is primarily engaged in the provision of ICT solutions across Malaysia.

Backed by the ongoing AI frenzy, BUY with a TP of RM0.54 based on FY25F PE of 15x, in line with industry peers.
