Equinix Fundamental Analysis
Equinix (EQIX) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) and digital infrastructure company focused on internet connectivity and data center colocation. It operates 260 data centers in 33 countries across five continents.
So, why am I bearish on EQIX following its double earnings miss?
Equinix reported revenues of $2.44 billion and earnings per share of $4.20, missing expectations of $2.52 billion and $4.31, respectively. Valuations remain excessive despite underlying fundamental issues, driven solely by hopes for its data centers. EQIX also faces insider selling, with net sales exceeding $25 million over the past three months. Interest rate sensitivity as a REIT, execution risks related to its xScale joint ventures, which the company excluded from its latest earnings report, and massive competition from hyperscalers underpin my bearish view.
