SK to Sell 49% Stake in Ulsan AI Data Center to KKR, Others
This stake sale signals a broader shift in how large conglomerates fund capital-intensive AI infrastructure: instead of carrying the full balance-sheet weight, they are inviting institutional capital into specific assets. For KKR and similar investors, it represents a direct, concentrated exposure to AI compute demand rather than a diversified tech play. The structure matters — a minority stake in a single data center suggests a preference for yield-bearing, operationally managed assets over full ownership. What is worth watching is whether this becomes a template for SK's other infrastructure projects and whether other regional players follow suit to recycle capital into further expansion.
