DigitalBridge Group Agrees to Cash Acquisition by SoftBank-Backed Buyer

DigitalBridge Group ( (DBRG) ) has issued an announcement.

On December 29, 2025, DigitalBridge Group, Inc. agreed to be acquired by Duncan Holdco LLC, an entity backed by an affiliate of SoftBank Group Corp., in a cash merger under which each outstanding share of the company’s Class A, Class B and Performance common stock, as well as each common unit of DigitalBridge Operating Company, will be converted into the right to receive $16.00 in cash, while preferred stock and preferred units will remain outstanding. The DigitalBridge board, acting on the recommendation of an independent committee, unanimously approved the deal and will recommend it to shareholders, though closing remains subject to shareholder approval, a wide array of antitrust, foreign investment and sectoral regulatory clearances, and consents from clients representing at least 85% of base-date revenue, with the parties bound by no-shop and matching rights provisions and reciprocal termination fees of $96 million for the company and $154 million for the buyer in specified circumstances, underscoring both the complexity of the regulatory process and the protections put in place for stakeholders if the transaction is delayed or blocked.

The most recent analyst rating on (DBRG) stock is a Hold with a $16.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on DigitalBridge Group stock, see the DBRG Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on DBRG Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, DBRG is a Neutral.

However, the high P/E ratio and overbought technical indicators suggest caution. The company’s mixed financial performance, with declining revenue trends and historical debt concerns, further tempers the outlook.
