Digital Realty Trust Inc (DLR) experienced a price drop of 3.03%, hitting a 20-day low. This decline comes as the Nasdaq-100 is down 1.88% and the S&P 500 is down 1.19%, indicating a challenging market environment.
The stock's movement is attributed to broad market weakness, as the overall market sentiment has shifted negatively. Despite the company's recent launch of OCI FastConnect in Singapore, which enhances connectivity for cloud services, the broader market conditions have overshadowed this positive development.
Investors may need to consider the implications of the current market dynamics on Digital Realty's performance. While the launch of new services is a step forward, the prevailing market trends could impact investor confidence and stock performance in the near term.
Wall Street analysts forecast DLR stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for DLR is 189.06 USD with a low forecast of 139.00 USD and a high forecast of 220.00 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.

As previously reported, BofA downgraded Digital Realty to Neutral from Buy with a price target of $170, down from $210. Digital Realty hasn't participated in AI related demand at the level the firm anticipated and the firm expects this trend to continue in 2026 as AI data center projects exceed 1GW and customers seek fastest time to market. Digital Realty's growth acceleration is constrained by size and development schedule, the firm sees risk to consensus Q4 leasing forecast and views multiple expansion as limited, the analyst tells investors.
