Digital Realty Trust (NYSE:DLR) Azioni, Catena delle Opzioni

Digital Realty Trust

Digital Realty owns and operates over 300 data centers worldwide. It has nearly 40 million rentable square feet across five continents. Digital's offerings range from retail co-location, where an enterprise may rent a single cabinet and rely on Digital to provide all the accommodations, to "cold shells," where hyperscale cloud service providers can simply rent much, or all, of a barren, power-connected building. In recent years, Digital Realty has de-emphasized cold shells and now primarily provides higher-level service to tenants, which outsource their related IT needs to Digital. The company operates as a real estate investment trust.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Digital Realty Trust has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Digital Realty Trust's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Digital Realty Trust's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.45%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Here&#8217;s a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending Feb. 7:
The Trade Desk (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTD#NASDAQ">TTD</a>): The digital advertising company saw strong interest from readers during the week, which comes ahead of fourth-quarter financial results on Feb. 12. Analysts <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent020725&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">expect the company</a> to report quarterly revenue of $758.9 million, up from $605.8 million in last year's fourth quarter. 
Analysts expect the company to report earnings per share of 56 cents for the fourth quarter, up from 41 cents per share in last year's fourth quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in more than 10 straight quarters and beaten estimates for earnings per share in three straight quarters and eight of the last 10 quarters overall. 
The stock has received favorable<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TTD/analyst-ratings"> coverage from analysts</a> in recent weeks with several price target upgrades. Trade Desk shares have also been volatile after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42278221/trade-desk-shares-are-on-the-rise-today-what-you-need-to-know">an analyst suggested</a> that the company could merge with Roku.
Trade Desk shares traded up slightly over the past five days as seen on the<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent020725&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"> Benzinga Pro chart</a> below and are up 68% over the past year.

BigBear.ai Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBAI#NYSE">BBAI</a>): The digital intelligence solutions provider saw interest soar along with its stock price during the week. BigBear.ai<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43501000/ai-based-intelligence-provider-bigbearai-partners-with-dod-to-advance-national-security"> landed a Department of Defense contract</a> to advance AI-powered threat detection systems. The news of the DoD deal is welcomed by investors who saw shares fall after<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41759387/bigbear-ai-stock-drops-after-worse-than-expected-q3-revenue-details"> third-quarter financial results</a> in November.
The company's quarterly revenue of $41.5 million missed Street consensus estimates. The company ended the third quarter with a backlog of $437 million, saying it was building a "long-term sustainable business." 
BigBear.ai shares <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/01/43016362/bigbearai-stock-surges-on-ceo-shake-up-the-details">also traded higher</a> in January with the announcement that Kevin McAleenan would be the new CEO. McAleenan previously served as the Acting Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security during President Donald Trump's first White House term.
BigBear.ai stock was up over 100% in the last week and shares are up over 400% in the past year.

Digital Realty Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLR#NYSE">DLR</a>): The data center company saw a surge in interest from Benzinga readers, leading to its second appearance on the Stock Whisper Index in three weeks. The rise in interest comes with Digital Realty's fourth-quarter financial results coming on Feb. 13.
Analysts expect the company to report earnings per share of $1.69 and revenue of $1.46 billion, both improvements to last year's fourth quarter. The company has missed analyst revenue estimates in four straight quarters, while beating earnings per share estimates in three straight quarters. Investors will be hoping the company beats both estimates.
Digital Realty saw a surge of interest in January with the announcement of The Stargate Project leading to more attention on AI infrastructure. There remains concerns that the new project could actually hurt Digital Realty, which could be something the company is asked about by analysts after its quarterly results.
Digital Realty shares are up 3.5% over the past week and up around 15% in the last year.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent020725&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="995" height="502" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07161644/Screenshot-327.png" alt="" class="wp-image-772729" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07161644/Screenshot-327.png 995w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07161644/Screenshot-327-300x151.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07161644/Screenshot-327-768x387.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 995px) 100vw, 995px" /></a></figure>
Home Depot Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>): The home improvement stock saw a surge in interest from readers during the week, including more than normal searches for a stock of its size. The interest could be related to pressure on stocks in the homebuilder sector due to tariff and economic concerns. Home Depot could also be volatile <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43544471/winter-storm">with winter storms</a> impacting regions of the country. 
Home Depot is set to report fourth-quarter financial results on Feb. 25, with analysts expecting the company to have earnings per share of $2.97 and revenue of $38.7 billion. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in more than 10 straight quarters. While Home Depot has only beaten analyst revenue estimates in one straight quarter, the company has beaten the consensus figure in six of the last 10 quarters. 
JPMorgan analyst Christopher Horvers recently<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/43166746/home-depot-likely-to-outcomp-lowes-in-q4-analyst-says-as-home-improvement-battle-heads-toward-earnings"> gave the nod</a> to Home Depot in the battle with rival Lowe's Companies for quarterly financial results. The analyst said Home Depot is likely to outcomp Lowe's with stabilizing consumer trends, cutting-edge technology, and its acquisition of SRS Distribution.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent020725&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1001" height="503" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07161703/Screenshot-328.png" alt="" class="wp-image-772730" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07161703/Screenshot-328.png 1001w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07161703/Screenshot-328-300x151.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07161703/Screenshot-328-768x386.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></a></figure>
Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>): The networking and software giant saw increased interest from Benzinga readers ahead of quarterly financial results. Cisco reports second-quarter financial results on Feb. 12. 
Analysts expect the company to report earnings per share of 91 cents and revenue of $13.87 billion. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in more than 10 straight quarters and beaten revenue estimates in 10 straight quarters. 
The surge in interest for Cisco comes with shares hitting new 52-week highs on Friday and shares trading at their highest price since December 2021, nearing five-year highs.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent020725&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1001" height="516" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07161719/Screenshot-329.png" alt="" class="wp-image-772731" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07161719/Screenshot-329.png 1001w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07161719/Screenshot-329-300x155.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07161719/Screenshot-329-768x396.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></a></figure>

Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer recommended buying BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) and added, &#8220;The long-term growth rate of this thing is fabulous, and I think it's going to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BLK/earnings">stay that way.&#8221;</a>
BlackRock, on Jan. 15, reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter financial results. Revenue grew 23% year over year to $5.68 billion, beating the consensus of $5.53 billion.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Parabolic Moves In These Stocks</h3>
&#8220;Just great science, but it is parabolic. It had a parabolic move, and those are going to be repealed,&#8221; Cramer said about GRAIL, Inc.

The &#8220;Mad Money&#8221; host recommended waiting until Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLR#NYSE">DLR</a>) comes down. &#8220;We cannot get involved with a parabolic move of a stock that could go much lower.&#8221;

&#8220;I think that those guys are great,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Danaher Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHR#NYSE">DHR</a>). &#8220;I want them to show me that they understand that there's been some serious underperformance here.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Raymond James analyst Andrew Cooper, on Jan. 21, maintained Danaher with an Outperform rating and lowered the price target from $300 to $275.
Coterra Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTRA#NYSE">CTRA</a>) is the &#8220;cheapest&#8221; natural gas company, Cramer said.
Supporting his view, Raymond James analyst John Freeman, on Jan. 23, maintained Coterra Energy with an Outperform rating and raised the price target from $35 to $41.

Digital Realty Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLR#NYSE">DLR</a>): The data center company saw increased interest over the week, which could be related to the announcement of The Stargate Project, which includes SoftBank, OpenAI and Oracle. The plan calls for AI infrastructure to be built to help America's presence in the growing sector. Digital Realty has received several<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DLR/analyst-ratings"> increased price targets</a> from analysts in the month of January with optimism for the data center space. Goldman Sachs analyst Kash Rangan said The Stargate Project could provide a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/43163656/stargate-project-microsoft-gains-oracle-waits-data-centers-face-long-term-questions">short-term boost</a> for Digital Realty, but has questions on the long-term impact.
"We see the announcement as a tactical positive, as we believe it reflects tighter supply/demand market dynamics than the market expects over the next two years," Rangan said.
The analyst said the project and other future projects could signal a shift away from outsourced data centers.

The tech world is reeling after President Trump&#8217;s announcement of the Stargate Project, a $500 billion initiative designed to catapult the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/01/43135764/trumps-500-billion-stargate-ai-plan-puts-3-etfs-in-focus">U.S. to AI supremacy.</a>
The project, which will see SoftBank, OpenAI and Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) join forces to build cutting-edge AI infrastructure, has immediate implications for key tech players like Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) and Oracle, as well as data centers, according to Goldman Sachs analyst Kash Rangan.
&#8220;The Stargate Project is solidifying the importance of Gen-AI as an important tech theme for the years ahead&#8221; Rangan said in a note released Thursday.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Microsoft: Early Bird Catches The Worm</h3>
Rangan sees the Stargate Project as strongly positive for Microsoft. As an early investor in OpenAI, Microsoft has already committed heavily in AI infrastructure. 
The new project, while potentially increasing competition, reinforces Microsoft&#8217;s existing advantages. &#8220;Being early to market and operational scaling experience is important,&#8221; Rangan said. 
The analyst highlights the updated terms of Microsoft&#8217;s partnership with OpenAI mitigate risks while maintaining significant upside. 
&#8220;From a financial perspective, MSFT gets to keep the equity upside while minimizing if not eliminating the risk given its involvement at ground zero with more parties stepping though Stargate to alleviate the capital burden,&#8221; Rangan said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Oracle: Long-Term Potential, Near-Term Uncertainties</h3>
While Oracle stands to benefit from increased demand for AI services, Rangan cautions that these benefits may take time to materialize. 
&#8220;It could not be until 2028 that Oracle gets to experience material benefits from the Stargate JV,&#8221; he notes.
This lengthy timeline is partly attributed to the substantial lead time required for the construction of necessary datacenter equipment.
&#8220;We note that this is likely to take time to play out as supply constraints for necessary datacenter equipment have a ~3 year lead time,&#8221; he added.
Furthermore, the analyst highlighted uncertainties surrounding Oracle&#8217;s financial commitments to the project, noting that its planned CapEx of over $15 billion in fiscal-year 2025 may need upward revisions.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Datacenter Impact: Short-Term Boost, Long-Term Questions Remain</h3>
The Stargate Project presents a mixed bag for datacenter operators like Digital Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLR#NYSE">DLR</a>) and Equinix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EQIX#NASDAQ">EQIX</a>).
In the short term, the project could provide a boost, driven by tighter supply-demand dynamics in the market.
&#8220;We see the announcement as a tactical positive, as we believe it reflects tighter supply/demand market dynamics than the market expects over the next two years,&#8221; Rangan said.
Yet, the long-term impact remains uncertain with the investment bank flagging the risk of shifting away from outsourced data centers. 
If OpenAI, which may utilize third-party providers like Digital Realty, decides to primarily leverage the infrastructure built by the Stargate Project, it could significantly diminish the demand for external data center services.
Essentially, the Stargate Project could disrupt the existing market dynamics, posing a potential threat to the long-term growth of companies like Digital Realty.
