The data center giant posted revenue of $2.42 billion for the quarter, up 7.0% year over year but slightly below the $2.45 billion consensus estimate, while GAAP diluted EPS of $2.69 missed the $3.71 analyst expectation by 27.49%, a gap the company largely attributed to timing around its xScale Hampton lease transaction, which slipped into early 2026. That single deal's delay cast a shadow over results that were otherwise marked by record annualized gross bookings of $474 million, a 42% jump from a year earlier, with roughly 60% of the largest deals tied to AI workloads. Monthly recurring revenue climbed 10% year over year, and adjusted EBITDA reached $1.19 billion at a 49% margin. Morgan Stanley responded by lifting its price target to $1,075, citing accelerating AFFO growth. Looking ahead, Equinix guided 2026 revenues of $10.12–$10.22 billion, representing 10–11% growth, with AFFO per share of $41.93–$42.74 and a 10% dividend increase, signals that management views the quarter's shortfall as a timing blip rather than a structural concern.

“Our team executed exceptionally well in Q4, marking a very strong close to a pivotal year for Equinix. Demand for our solutions has never been higher, as demonstrated by accelerated growth in both bookings and recurring revenue, and we are confident in our plan to deliver robust revenue and AFFO per share growth in 2026.”
