S&P Global signed a definitive agreement to acquire datacenterHawk from private equity firm Leeds Equity Partners.

S&P Global expects the transaction to close in the second half of 2026.

The company will integrate datacenterHawk’s real-time data on data center real estate, capacity, and pricing into its financial services suite.

The acquisition addresses rising institutional demand for high-quality data to guide investments in the data center asset class.

This move signals a maturation of the digital infrastructure sector for real estate ETF investors.
