Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE:DLR) brings companies and data together by delivering the full spectrum of data center, colocation, and interconnection solutions.

Initially piloted in Europe in 2019, Apollo expanded to 16 sites across six countries and plans to double its footprint by the end of 2024, including new deployments in Melbourne and Singapore. In the third quarter of 2024, the company reported adjusted funds from operations (FFO) of $1.67 per share, up from $1.62 the previous year, surpassing expectations. This growth is attributed to businesses leveraging generative AI and cloud migration, leading to increased demand for data center services. UBS recently upgraded Digital Realty stock from Hold to Buy, citing the ability of the firm to raise rents due to constrained data center space and increased AI-driven demand.
