Data center stocks have become a key focus for investors as artificial intelligence continues to drive demand for computing power, cloud infrastructure, and digital connectivity.
One name now squarely in the spotlight is DigitalBridge (DBRG), after Japan’s SoftBank (SFTBY) agreed to acquire the data center investment firm in a $4 billion all-cash deal. The acquisition underscores SoftBank’s aggressive push into AI infrastructure and has sparked a sharp move in DigitalBridge shares. With the stock jumping on the news and the buyout offering a premium to recent prices, investors are left with a key question: Is it already too late to buy DBRG stock, or does this deal still leave room for upside?
