The latest announcement is out from KDDI ( (JP:9433) ).

KDDI will inject 2,432 million baht into its consolidated unit TELEHOUSE (Thailand) Ltd., significantly raising the subsidiary’s capital to 3,132 million baht and boosting KDDI’s stake to 87.7 percent. The move will make the Thai data center operator a specified subsidiary, as its capital will exceed 10 percent of KDDI’s own share capital under Japanese regulations.

The capital increase is intended to fund land acquisition and expansion of TELEHOUSE’s data center capacity in Thailand, where demand is rising on the back of generative AI, cloud computing, and government-led digitalization. While the Thai arm is still loss-making as it scales up, KDDI expects only a minimal impact on consolidated earnings in the year to March 2027, underscoring that this is a longer-term strategic bet on regional data center growth.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:9433) stock is a Buy with a Yen2800.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on KDDI stock, see the JP:9433 Stock Forecast page.
