Apollo's Data Center Acquisition Drives 0.23 Stock Rally Despite 241 Trading Rank

On August 6, 2025, Apollo Global Management (APO) traded with a volume of $0.47 billion, down 41.32% from the previous day, ranking 241st in market activity. The stock rose 0.23% amid news of its strategic expansion into digital infrastructure.

Apollo-managed funds have agreed to acquire a majority stake in Stream Data Centers (SDC), a developer of hyperscale data centers. The transaction will allow Apollo to deploy billions into next-generation digital infrastructure, leveraging SDC’s 4+ gigawatt development pipeline and existing long-term land holdings. SDC’s management will retain a minority position, while Apollo will provide capital and strategic support to accelerate projects in key U.S. markets like Chicago, Atlanta, and Dallas.

The deal aligns with Apollo’s broader focus on infrastructure investments, having allocated $38 billion since 2022 to sectors including renewable energy and compute capacity. With data centers projected to require trillions in global investment over the next decade, the acquisition positions Apollo to capitalize on demand from cloud and AI providers. A newly formed subsidiary will oversee SDC’s land fund, further expanding its development capabilities.

The strategy of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding for one day generated a 166.71% return from 2022 to the present, outperforming the benchmark by 137.53%. This highlights liquidity concentration’s role in short-term performance, particularly in volatile markets, as high-volume stocks attract traders and drive momentum.
