Equinix Says AI Is Not Dead, Further Consolidation Likely
Summary Equinix, Inc.'s growing CapEx, record backlog, and rising recurring revenue per cabinet highlight durable AI monetization prospects and underscore the raised FY2026 guidance. This is significantly aided by their ability to deliver expanding capacity within metropolitan areas while reporting an extremely healthy balance sheet and minimal equity dilution. Otherwise, it goes without saying that Equinix's YTD rally has been overly done, given the underwhelming dividend yields and the mixed FY2029 growth guidance. The stock trades at expensive Price/AFFO of 25.35x versus peers/historical levels, with the slower projected AFFO per share growth at a 4Y CAGR of +6.8% making its premium less compelling. Combined with the overbought technicals and the ongoing consolidation since April 2026, Equinix remains a Hold here. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaAnalysis Article • Jun 19

Equinix: A Good Long-Term Holding Amid Recession Risk
Summary Equinix (EQIX) remains a strong candidate due to its recurring revenue model, despite recent underperformance and legal challenges from a Hindenburg Research report. Equinix has maintained 88 consecutive quarters of revenue growth, although recent growth has slowed to high single digits. The company's margins are robust, with a 47% adjusted EBITDA margin, and over 90% of its revenue is recurring, making it resilient in downturns. Equinix is well-positioned to benefit from increased AI workloads, with significant capex projected for AI infrastructure upgrades by 2028.

Equinix Falls As Data Center Demand Tempers
Summary Equinix's valuation had become unreasonable due to strong AI sector tailwinds, leading to a Sell rating despite strong fundamentals in January. EQIX's share price has declined 15% from its peak, returning to a more rational valuation midpoint with forward FFO per share now at 30x. Shifting demand in the data center sector, particularly from large tech companies like Microsoft, has tempered the previously unlimited growth expectations. EQIX stock is now upgraded to a Hold as the data center outlook shifts, indicating a potential consolidation phase similar to post-pandemic industrial space trends.

Equinix: Microsoft's Spending Shift Signals Trouble For Data Center Growth
Summary Equinix faces risks from a potential slowdown in hyperscaler demand, especially after Microsoft’s recent comments, making the data center industry vulnerable to shifts in AI investment. Despite strong operational performance and record bookings, Equinix's aggressive growth projections for FY'26 and beyond appear overly optimistic. Rising competition and the capital-intensive nature of the business pose additional risks, with Equinix's high valuation multiples being hard to justify. Given these concerns, I recommend avoiding Equinix stock until there's more clarity on demand sustainability and profitability. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Jan 23
