Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Infratil’s data centre story takes another step forward | Wed 8 Jul
Q: What is driving the jump in Infratil's data center valuation, and how should investors interpret the scale of the opportunity?
The jump is driven by actual delivery of data centers to clients and a significant expansion in the future pipeline, with a lower discount rate reflecting market entry and visibility, suggesting a meaningful growth runway despite uncertainties.
Central Auckland Development Under Scrutiny | Tue 7 Jul
Q: So are there any protections if a developer does change direction?
There are limited protections available to buyers, often requiring costly steps like a judicial review through the High Court, and even then the outcome is uncertain; residents may need to challenge the change of use and the issued resource consents, which can be a long, expensive process.
Japanese billions back NZ-founded Investment firm Morrison | Thu 9 Jul
Q: I'm looking at the stake value, you haven't released details about the percentage ownership. can you share guidance?
The publicly cited figure is around 2 billion USD being invested into Morrison's funds; the 15% dilution is about the limit management and the Lloyd Morrison Trust are comfortable with, and Morrison will continue to be privately held with new equity coming in to grow the business.
The New Zealand company turning forest waste into EV battery graphite | Tue 7 Jul
Q: Vincent, how do you get battery-grade graphite from wood chips?
Graphite is produced by extracting carbon from wood residues and refining it into a battery-grade form. The process is designed to be flexible with feedstock and significantly more energy-efficient than conventional graphite production, enabling a cleaner, more local supply chain.
Pathfinder's venture capital bet on kiwi climate-tech | Wed 17 Jun
