Trump urges data centers to share profits with local communities

Data center and AI infrastructure stocks rise as operators and communities negotiate standardized revenue-sharing frameworks that reduce permitting uncertainty and accelerate project timelines.

Data center and semiconductor stocks decline as states and municipalities impose competing profit-sharing mandates that raise capital costs, delay site approvals, and redirect AI infrastructure investment to jurisdictions with lighter local-capture regimes.
