Shares of a data center investment company Digital Bridge surged as much as 50% in pre-market trading on Monday, following a media report that the Japanese market SoftBank is in advanced talks to acquire the New York-listed company.
SoftBank could announce deal as soon as Monday, Bloomberg reportedciting anonymous sources.
CNBC contacted representatives from SoftBank and DigitalBridge. Both companies declined to comment when contacted by Bloomberg.
After peaking 50% higher around 4:20 a.m. ET, shares of DigitalBridge were last seen up 34%. The stock is up about 23% year to date.
The report comes amid a global boom in the infrastructure that underpins AI applications – and as SoftBank doubles down on its tech efforts.

DigitalBridge describes itself as “a unique digital infrastructure company” and manages approximately $108 billion in assets as of the end of September, according to its website.
