中信证券：关注2025H2国内IDC公司业绩兑现及海 外一线公司中长期投资机遇 资本开支：保证资产负债表基础上，匹配增长需求。 从国内两家代表性的中概IDC公司来看，资本开支过高或过低的指引均容易引起市场的担忧。中信 判断影响资本开支的主要因素包括： 1)新增pipeline：增量资本开支的重要来源。完整的IDC从建设到投产需要大约6-12个月，因此当年 投入资本开支对应的业绩增长或订单交付时间应同步滞后，头部IDC公司订单pipeline周期基本与资本开 支周期相匹配，过低的资本开支则可能预示后续交付数或订单pipeline的不足。 2)资产负债表：资本开支应综合统筹当前的杠杆率、回购派息、现金流等因素。作为重资产商业模 式，IDC公司的业绩滞后其资本开支，因此对IDC公司而言，平衡当前的现金流与资本开支，并保持合 理的杠杆率是资产负债管理的重要因素。因此中信认为，参考海外IDC龙头，国内公司应当在保证资产 负债表健康的基础上，匹配增长需求，形成良性扩张。 国内市场：聚焦2025年交付及业绩兑现情况。 供给侧，中信预估国内头部公司单机柜成本约为4-5万美元量级。需求传导来看，IDC从签约订单 到交付上架的周 ...
