## Summary

NEXTDC’s shares surged in early trading after the company criticised a proposed share purchase by Goodman Group and Digital Realty as “opportunistic”. The board said it had received no takeover proposal, while stating it would assess any genuine approach on its merits.

Goodman and Digital Realty offered to buy up to 9.9 per cent of NEXTDC for about A$715 million through an institutional investor book build. They said they had no current intention to make a takeover bid but reserved the right to do so. NEXTDC shares rose as much as 45.8 per cent to A$9.52, after losing the same amount in October, when the company reported a power delay at its M3 Melbourne site, cut its FY27 guidance and shelved new development projects.
