[SINGAPORE] Singapore-based data centre operator Princeton Digital Group (PDG) has tapped Goldman Sachs Group to work on a strategic review that may result in a stake sale, according to people familiar with the matter.
The process is preliminary and no final decision has been made about bringing in new equity partners or other aspects of a potential deal, the people said, asking not to be identified because the deliberations are private.
Other investment firms and industry players have shown interest in PDG, in what could be yet another multibillion US dollar transaction in the digital infrastructure industry in Asia, the people said.
Global investors have been snapping up data centre companies that help support the boom in artificial intelligence. In February, A KKR-led group agreed to buy STT GDC for S$6.6 billion in cash. Blackstone and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board acquired AirTrunk for A$24 billion (S$21.9 billion) in 2024.
Meanwhile, Bain Capital is working with Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase on a review of Singapore-based Bridge Data Centres that may lead to a stake sale, people familiar with the matter have said. A transaction might value Bridge at several billion US dollars, the people said.
PDG operates more than 20 data centres in China, Singapore, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan, its website shows. Warburg Pincus invested in and helped set up the company in 2017, along with Rangu Salgame and Varoon Raghavan. PDG has grown both organically and via acquisitions.
