DigitalBridge shares jump about 45% as SoftBank reportedly nears acquisition deal

On December 29, 2025, DigitalBridge’s stock spiked in early U.S. pre-market trading, briefly climbing around 50% before the regular session opened after reports that SoftBank was in advanced talks to acquire the company. The move followed Bloomberg’s claim that a deal for the New York-listed data center operator, which oversees about $108 billion in assets, could be announced as soon as the same day, though no final agreement had been reached.
