    • Earlier this month, Lineage outlined its operational excellence and digital strategy, emphasizing the rollout of its proprietary LinOS warehouse execution system to more than 250 locations by 2029 and projecting about US$110 million in incremental annual EBITDA over the next three to five years.
    • The company has already invested US$250 million in LinOS, committed a further US$200 million through 2030, and is targeting a forecasted return on invested capital of 24%, while also linking recent contract wins and efficiency gains directly to this technology.
    • We’ll now examine how Lineage’s large-scale LinOS rollout and expected EBITDA uplift shape the company’s longer-term investment narrative.

    What Is Lineage's Investment Narrative?

    To own Lineage, you need to believe that its cold storage platform and digital layer can eventually translate a currently loss making profile into more durable cash generation, even if that path is uneven. The latest LinOS update adds more definition to that story, with a quantified US$110 million EBITDA uplift target and a sizable US$450 million total investment that now sits alongside 25 in‑flight facilities expected to add a further US$167 million of EBITDA. In the near term, key catalysts still revolve around stabilizing earnings, proving that automation can offset cost pressure and occupancy swings, and integrating a new CFO while managing a relatively fresh board. The LinOS rollout sharpens execution risk too, as timing slips or underperformance against its 24% ROIC target could quickly dominate the narrative.

    However, heavy LinOS spending and ongoing losses create a risk profile investors should understand in detail. Lineage's shares have been on the rise but are still potentially undervalued by 41%. Find out what it's worth.
