Description: EQIX Equinix January 27, 2026
Equinix (NASDAQ:EQIX) positions itself as the global “digital infrastructure” provider that shortens the path to boundless connectivity, enabling seamless digital experiences, AI workloads, and ecosystem-driven innovation across economies, organizations, and communities.
Key up-to-date metrics (FY 2025):
• Revenue ≈ $9.2 billion, up ~7 % YoY, driven by strong demand for interconnection services.
• Global footprint now exceeds 260 data centers in 30+ markets, with an average occupancy of 96 %.
• Annualized FFO of $2.70 per share and a dividend yield of ~1.6 % reflect the REIT’s cash-flow stability.
• Capital expenditures were $1.2 billion, focused on expanding edge sites and sustainable power.
These figures underscore Equinix’s scale advantage and its ability to capture growth in the cloud-to-edge transition.
Sector drivers that materially affect EQIX’s outlook:
• The data-center REIT industry is projected to grow at a ~10 % CAGR through 2028, propelled by AI model training, edge-computing latency requirements, and continued cloud migration.
• Rising interest rates have begun to modestly compress REIT valuation multiples, creating a pricing gap that could benefit well-positioned, cash-rich operators like Equinix.
• ESG pressures are accelerating investments in renewable-energy-powered facilities, where Equinix’s 2025 target of 100 % renewable electricity coverage enhances its long-term risk profile.
