NextDC stock in focus after Goodman and Digital Realty raid

NEXTDC Limited said on Thursday, November 5, 2026, that Goodman Group and Digital Realty had pursued a stake in the Australian data-center operator through an aftermarket book build. The company said the move was opportunistic and came after its revised FY27 outlook.

Share raid raises strategic questions

Ackland Investments No.1, a vehicle owned equally by Goodman and Digital Realty, sought NEXTDC shares at A$9.50 each on November 4, with a maximum holding of 9.9 percent of the ordinary shares, according to the Finanzen.net report reproducing the company announcement.

NEXTDC said it did not know the outcome of the share raid and had no takeover proposal in hand. Goodman and Digital Realty told investors that they had no intention of making a control proposal or takeover bid at that time, while reserving the right to do so.
