Memo
EQUINIX INC (EQIX). Latest full fiscal year: 2025; data up to 2026-09-30.
Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 9.2 bn USD in 2025; YoY growth 5.4%; net margin 16.4%; ROE 11.5%; net debt/EBITDA 4.6x.
The estimated value range is 279.43–390.29 USD per share (median of 2 methods, agreement: high); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 339.52 USD, the price of 1,054.09 USD leaves a potential of -67.8% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of -210.5% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.
olivLaw score 40/100, methodological classification: unattractive profile (score, margin of safety and method agreement together; not a judgement of the right price). Not investment advice.
Text generated deterministically from the figures shown; no language model. Not investment advice.

Segments
Market context
Trends
- AI adoption and infrastructure demandtailwind
Training and inference of AI models require dense, low-latency connectivity, increasing the need for interconnected data centers 1. If this demand keeps rising, it could support demand for space and interconnection.
- Rising power demand per cabinetmixed
Customers draw more power per cabinet, and new centers are built for roughly double the power and cooling of earlier ones 1. This could limit available capacity in existing markets if power is not secured in time.
- Energy and supply chain costsheadwind
The company flags higher power costs, rising prices for construction materials and possible chip shortages that could delay customer deployments 1. These pressures could compress margins if they cannot be passed on to customers.
- Data sovereignty and local requirementstailwind
Growing requirements for data security, latency and residency favor a provider with a distributed metro footprint 1. The company launched Fabric Geo Zones as a network-level data sovereignty solution 3.
Competitive position
Competition comes from telecom carriers that sell colocation bundled with their own services, from private and public cloud providers, from managed hosting providers and from large hyperscale operators building their own data centers 1. The fragmented market makes the advantage of an interconnection ecosystem important 1.
The company argues its network effect and leading share of cloud on-ramps help it attract new customers 1. If hyperscalers expand their own capacity, competitive pressure in the xScale segment could increase 1.
- Telecom carriers offering colocation
Telecommunications companies that historically bundled colocation with their service packages 1.
- Hyperscale cloud providers
Large cloud providers that build their own data centers and compete with colocation for some workloads 1.
- Neutral multi-tenant data center operators
Private MTDC operators that form part of the fragmented market described in the company's filings 1.
- Managed hosting and infrastructure providers
Private cloud, managed infrastructure and application hosting providers competing in managed services 1.
