Prologis (NYSE:PLD) shares rose slightly on Thursday after the company announced a joint venture with La Caisse to create a pan-European logistics platform.

The platform is designed to enhance Prologis' operations in key markets and capitalize on growing demand for logistics properties. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, pending regulatory approvals.
