EQIX · Nasdaq · Real estate

Fundamental quality

REASONABLE

70

out of 100

Equinix Inc earns a fundamental-quality score of 70 out of 100, profiling it as a company of reasonable quality. Its score rests mainly on its growth (revenue +9.4%/yr). Its weakest area is its financial strength (net debt 4.69× EBITDA). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Equinix is the interconnection data-center REIT: its facilities are the points where the world's networks meet (clouds, carriers, enterprises). It charges rent for space and, above all, for cross-connects between customers.

What will shape its future

  • Interconnection demand (cloud, AI), growing with every byte that moves.
  • Energy costs and available power capacity, the sector's big bottleneck.
  • Interest rates, which weigh on any REIT with a big investment plan.

The score combines growth, profitability and financial strength. Here its growth weighs in its favor, while its financial strength drags it down the most.
