Hi Angela,
For subscribers not familiar with DUG, it’s a $220mn technology business which stands at the intersection of high-performance computing, green infrastructure, and domain-specific software, offering tailored solutions, like their immersive cooling system and portable HPC units, that empower industries to efficiently process complex, large-scale data. Effectively a specialised data centre business.
- We couldn’t consider it for MM’s Watchlist because of size/volume limitations, by midday on Friday it had only traded ~$300k worth of stock which is prohibitive for our portfolios.
- However, we do like the stock after this week’s FY25 report showed a $52mn order book and improved EBITDA.
We believe DUG’s proprietary immersion-cooling system, DUG Cool, has attracted meaningful attention from both industry players and the market, though it remains in the early stages of adoption. While it offers clear energy and cost advantages, immersion cooling is still an emerging solution in the broader data centre space—limited by infrastructure readiness and deployment complexity.
