SoftBank Group Corp. has halted its $50 billion acquisition talks for US data center operator Switch Inc., shifting its focus to a potential partial investment. This decision follows the collapse of the full deal, as SoftBank recently acquired DigitalBridge Group Inc., which holds a majority stake in Switch, and has made significant investments in AI. With Switch preparing for an IPO valued at around $60 billion, the deal may face scrutiny from US regulatory bodies.
