JPMorgan Chase believes two data center-linked companies are likely undervalued.

In a new CNBC interview, JPMorgan analyst Steve Tusa says he’s bullish on industrials as the sector is being lifted by the hundreds of billions of dollars in hyperscaler capital expenditures (CapEx).

According to Tusa, the data center trade is one of the bank’s biggest plays, and he’s looking at the digital infrastructure solutions firm Vertiv (VRT) as one of his top picks.

“Vertiv, just recently, went into basically bear market territory. So this is officially a pretty significant dip and is a very different value proposition than what we may have seen even two months ago, on I would say some news flow.

I think news would be probably a generous characterization, a lot of speculation in a negative sense. I would stick with that on the growth side.”

VRT dropped to as low as $147 on December 17th after hitting an all-time high of $202.45 in late October, marking a nearly 30% decline. As of Wednesday’s close, the stock is worth $166.87.

Data shows that billionaire Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater owns more than $37.77 million worth of VRT as of Q3 of 2025, a jump of more than 240% from its Q2 holdings.

JPMorgan Chase is also bullish on Johnson Controls (JCI), a firm that aims to create smart, healthy and sustainable buildings.

“And Johnson Controls would be the other one outside of Vertiv. [It] still has some data center exposure, but a really tremendous operating improvement story where earnings can grow 15% to 20% for the next few years, and the stock is pretty reasonably priced.”

As of Wednesday’s close, JCI is worth $121.39.

1. Crypto outperformed traditional equity indexes following the rate hike, but elevated interest rates remain a key constraint on cross-asset allocation. From September 12 to 18, BTC, ETH, and SOL gained 4.83%, 3.84%, and 9.96%, respectively, while the S&P 500 edged down 0.08%. The U.S. Dollar Index rose 1.11%, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield closed at approximately 4.998%. Improving risk appetite is therefore coexisting with elevated discount rates, raising the bar for RWA allocation: investors need to compare not only returns on the underlying assets, but also on-chain liquidity and collateral efficiency. 2. Growth in tokenized equities is occurring even as the overall RWA market remains under pressure. As of September 18, Distributed Asset Value across RWAs stood at $38.503 billion, down 1.13% week over week, while tokenized equities reached $3.056 billion, up 6.03%. This week's data are better explained by capital reallocating across different RWA segments than by a broad-based expansion of the entire RWA market. 3. For exchanges, the opportunity lies in connecting spot holdings, collateral, and derivatives. Reality's distributed asset value stands at approximately $155 million, while eligible rTokens can already be used within Bitget's UTA margin framework. Across CoinGlass's verifiable sample of 177 TradFi instruments, open interest reached approximately $11.498 billion, up 2.06% week over week, even as weekly trading volume declined 7.60%. The medium-term opportunity remains intact, but deeper utilization will depend on liquidity, collateral use, and sustained trading activity. 4.Assets to watch: BTC, ETH, SOL, NEAR, ZEC, gold, tokenized U.S. equities, COST. 5.Key metrics to watch: rToken collateral utilization, the durability of TradFi open interest and trading volume, and next week's employment and consumer data.
