Equinix Shares Rise 2% After Launch of AI Inference Program With Nvidia and Together AI

NASDAQ:EQIX
Latest News
September 02 2026 9:52AM

Equinix (NASDAQ:EQIX) shares rose 2% on Wednesday after the company announced Equinix Inference Exchange, a distributed artificial intelligence inference program developed in collaboration with Nvidia and Together AI.

The program brings together Nvidia Enterprise Reference Architectures, Together AI’s inference platform and Equinix’s global infrastructure for enterprises deploying AI workloads.

According to Equinix, the combination is designed to support deployment speed, flexibility and cost management. These benefits represent the company’s stated objectives for the program rather than independently established performance outcomes.

Equinix Inference Exchange Combines AI Infrastructure and Connectivity

Equinix said Inference Exchange will provide enterprises with connectivity to data, users and other parts of their technology ecosystems through Equinix Fabric.

The program integrates Nvidia’s validated Enterprise Reference Architectures with Together AI’s inference platform, which supports more than 200 open-source models, according to the company.

The services will be delivered through Equinix’s global data centre infrastructure.

Equinix announced Inference Exchange at Equinix Horizon, its inaugural customer and partner event. The company also introduced Equinix Fabric One, a service designed to support connectivity across geographically distributed AI environments.

Program Targets Multiple Enterprise AI Applications

Equinix said Inference Exchange is intended to support enterprise inference applications including metro edge inference, migration between open models and sovereign AI deployments for regulated industries.

Under the collaboration, Equinix will provide infrastructure including power, cooling and operational services. Nvidia will provide its Enterprise Reference Architectures and AI infrastructure, while Together AI will operate the inference platform.

The platform will support both multitenant deployments and dedicated single-tenant environments, according to the company.

Equinix Highlights Global Data Centre Network

Equinix operates more than 280 data centres across 77 metropolitan areas, according to the supplied information. Its network includes 230 cloud on-ramps and more than 10,500 interconnected businesses.

The company also said eight of the world’s 10 largest AI model providers and nine of the top 10 AI cloud providers are deployed with Equinix.

These figures describe the company’s existing infrastructure and customer ecosystem but do not establish the level of future adoption or revenue that Inference Exchange may generate.

Inference Exchange Availability Planned for Early 2027

Equinix said Inference Exchange is scheduled to become available beginning in the first quarter of 2027.

No financial terms for the collaboration or revenue expectations associated with the program were provided in the supplied information.

The 2% movement in Equinix shares occurred following the announcement, although the supplied information does not establish the extent to which the program launch was responsible for the stock’s gain.

Energized Power Capacity Is Shaping the Next Phase of AI InfrastructureSeptember 22, 2026 8:33 AM
PR Newswire (US) NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary - The constraint in artificial intelligence infrastructure has moved. It is no longer chips, and it was never really land. It is energized capacity: a site where electricity is flowing, or will be shortly, without a multi-year wait in an interconnection queue. Equinix added a record 9,700 net interconnections in a single quarter and raised its guidance on the strength of that demand. Blue Owl Capital now manages $319 billion and has been steadily building a digital infrastructure business around financing exactly this shortage. Both are responses to the same problem, which is that the compute is ready before the power is. Active Companies from around the markets with current developments this week include: Host Digital Inc. (NYSE American: HOST), Blue Owl Capital Inc. (NYSE: OWL), Equinix, Inc. (NASDAQ: EQIX), DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (NYSE: DBRG), and Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE: VRT). The economics of a data center development follow from where the power sits. A greenfield hyperscale campus is a multi-gigawatt undertaking that requires new transmission, new substations and a utility willing to commit capacity years ahead of load. Those projects get announced with impressive numbers and then wait. The queue, not the construction schedule, sets the delivery date.A smaller site with power already in place is a different instrument entirely. It cannot host a frontier training cluster, but it can be delivered in months rather than years, and in a market where tenants are competing for any capacity at all, months matter more than size. The trade-off is scale for speed, and for the last two years speed has been winning.The second structural feature worth understanding is who carries the risk. A developer that builds speculative capacity and hopes tenants arrive is taking demand risk on an asset that costs hundreds of millions. A developer that signs a long-term take-or-pay lease before delivering the facility has transferred that risk to the tenant, and in exchange has accepted the obligation to deliver on schedule. Take-or-pay means the tenant owes the rent whether or not it uses the capacity, which is what makes the contracted revenue figures in this sector meaningful rather than aspirational. What it does not do is remove construction risk, financing risk, or the possibility that the facility is late.Host Digital Debuts on NYSE American as HOST and Exercises its Right to Acquire a Second Site from its SponsorMerger completed and trading began. Host Digital completed its merger with Host Digital Infrastructure LLC on September 17, 2026, and shares began trading on NYSE American under the symbol HOST on Friday, September 18, 2026.Site I is now owned by the Company. A fully executed 15-year take-or-pay lease covers 55 MW gross and 43 MW of critical IT load, representing approximately $1.25 billion in base-term contracted revenue, or approximately $3.2 billion over a 30-year total term if all renewal options are exercised, with Year 1 contracted revenue of $67 million and delivery expected in the first quarter of 2027.A second site is under negotiation, not acquired. The Sponsor has signed a 12-year take-or-pay lease for approximately 20 MW gross and 16 MW of critical IT load with a publicly traded AI cloud provider, representing approximately $391 million in base-term rent and approximately $819 million over a 22-year total term if all renewals are exercised. Any contribution of Site II remains subject to negotiation and the execution of definitive agreements.A 24-month right of first offer and first refusal. Under a Preferential Rights Agreement, the Sponsor has given the Company exclusive rights over qualifying data center assets from a pipeline described as four additional sites with more than 450 MW of gross power capacity.A modest public offering priced alongside it. 2,187,500 shares of Class A common stock at $8.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $17.5 million, with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. as lead book-running manager.Host Digital Inc. (NYSE American: HOST) is a vertically integrated digital infrastructure company that develops, acquires, owns and operates what it calls RightScaled data centers for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing workloads. Its model targets sites of approximately 20 MW to 100 MW where grid power is available today or in the near term, supplemented by behind-the-meter generation where appropriate, and developed against long-term contracted demand rather than built speculatively.The distinction the Company draws is between a powered shell and a turnkey facility. Host Digital expects to own and control the real estate, the power and interconnection rights, the utility agreements, the electrical systems and the cooling infrastructure at each site, while tenants control their own compute and model layers. That division is deliberate: it positions the business as an infrastructure and real estate platform rather than one taking technology or compute risk, which is a materially different risk profile from an operator that owns the GPUs."Host Digital is entering the public markets with the three things that matter most in AI infrastructure today: access to power, contracted demand, and a model we can repeat," said Shawn Matthews, Chairman of Host Digital. "At our initial site, we have 43 MW of critical IT load committed under a long-term lease. We now have started negotiations to acquire a second energized and leased facility."Chief Executive Harmol Samra framed the strategy around the constraint described above. "Infrastructure is ultimately constrained by how quickly operators can secure power and bring capacity online," he said, adding that the Company targets sites where power is already flowing or available in the near term and then develops against long-term contracted demand "rather than building speculative capacity and hoping tenants follow."Matthews also set out the combined arithmetic, and it is worth reading with the condition attached. If the Site II acquisition completes, the Company expects to have approximately 59.3 MW of total contracted critical IT load and an aggregate of $1.64 billion in base-term contracted revenue across the two sites. That figure depends entirely on a transaction that has not been agreed. The Sponsor holds the Site II lease today; Host Digital holds a right to negotiate for it.The Sponsor relationship deserves plain description because it cuts both ways. The Sponsor is an entity formed and controlled by the founders of Host Digital Infrastructure LLC, which makes it a related party. For 24 months it gives the Company first look at assets from a pipeline of four additional sites with more than 450 MW of gross capacity, including more than 350 MW of grid power and more than 100 MW of behind-the-meter capacity. A pipeline of that kind is genuinely difficult to assemble and would be expensive to replicate. It also means the Company's growth path runs through negotiations with an affiliate of its own founders, on terms that have not been disclosed because they have not been agreed.Two further points belong in any honest reading. The offering priced at $8.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $17.5 million, which is a modest raise against contracted revenue figures measured in billions and against the capital required to deliver a 55 MW facility by the first quarter of 2027; substantial additional financing will be required. And the lease backstops described for both sites, from investment-grade publicly listed United States-based global technology companies, are stated as expected rather than as executed, and neither the tenants nor the backstop providers are named. The Company also continues to operate 19 natural and organic grocery stores across six states as a division following the merger.Read this and more news from around the sector at: https://equity-insider.comThere's many interesting industry developments and happenings in the market this week including:Blue Owl Capital Inc. (NYSE: OWL) reported second quarter 2026 results on July 30, 2026, with assets under management reaching $319 billion, described by Co-Chief Executives Doug Ostrover and Marc Lipschultz as a five-fold increase since the firm's listing five years ago. The firm has built a substantial digital infrastructure business, acquiring data center fund manager IPI Partners for approximately $1.0 billion in a transaction completed in January 2025, and in July 2026 launching Kirkwood Infrastructure Group, a fiber and communications infrastructure venture.Blue Owl is relevant here for a specific reason. IPI Partners is the platform Host Digital's chief executive helped build during his time at ICONIQ Capital, and which held 82 data centers and more than 2.2 gigawatts of leased capacity at the time of its sale. Blue Owl now owns it. That is the scale end of the model Host Digital is attempting at 20 to 100 MW increments, and the comparison is instructive precisely because of the gap between them. Blue Owl is an alternative asset manager of enormous scale and is in no sense a comparable of a newly listed developer.Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX) reported second quarter 2026 revenue of $2.625 billion, up 16% year over year, with monthly recurring revenue growing 11%, annualized gross bookings up 23% and a record 9,700 net interconnections added in the quarter. The company raised full-year 2026 guidance and its long-term outlook, with Chief Executive Adaire Fox-Martin citing broad-based demand across networking, cloud and AI infrastructure.Equinix is the incumbent against which every new entrant in this sector is implicitly measured, and its results are the clearest available evidence that demand is real rather than narrative. It is also a reminder of what takes decades to build. Interconnection density, which is where much of Equinix's value sits, is not something a two-site developer can replicate, and the two businesses are not competing for the same tenant requirement.DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (NYSE: DBRG) is the closest listed analogue to the structure Host Digital has adopted. It operates as a digital infrastructure investment manager, raising third-party capital and deploying it into data centers, towers, fiber and edge assets, rather than owning and operating a single portfolio on its own balance sheet.The parallel is in how growth is financed. Both models separate the entity that sources and warehouses assets from the entity that ultimately holds them, which is an efficient way to move quickly and an arrangement that requires careful governance. Anyone assessing a sponsor-and-vehicle structure should read the related-party terms rather than the pipeline slide. DigitalBridge is an established asset manager operating at a different scale and under a different model and is referenced as sector context only.Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE: VRT) supplies the power management, thermal management and infrastructure equipment that sits between a building with electricity and a facility that can actually host AI workloads: switchgear, uninterruptible power supplies, busway, cooling distribution and liquid cooling systems.Vertiv is included because it puts a cost on the word turnkey. The difference between a powered shell and a delivered data center is largely the equipment Vertiv and its competitors make, and that equipment has been subject to extended lead times through the current cycle. A developer promising delivery in the first quarter of 2027 is making a statement about its equipment procurement as much as about its construction schedule. Vertiv is an equipment manufacturer, not a developer, and is not a comparable of any company named here.Track the Signals Before the CrowdThe best positioning happens before the crowd catches on.

Cautionary Note Regarding Site II, the Sponsor and Contracted Revenue: The contribution or acquisition of Site II has not occurred. It remains subject to negotiation and the execution of definitive agreements, and no assurance can be given that it will occur, or that it will occur on the terms described. The Site II lease is held by the Sponsor, not by Host Digital Inc.

The Sponsor is an entity formed and controlled by the founders of Host Digital Infrastructure LLC and is therefore a related party; rights under the Preferential Rights Agreement are rights to receive an offer or to match one, are limited to a 24-month period, and do not obligate the Sponsor to sell or the Company to acquire any asset. Statements regarding the Sponsor's pipeline, including four additional sites and more than 450 MW of gross power capacity, describe assets the Sponsor may or may not develop, acquire or offer, and no assurance is given that any of them will be contributed to the Company. Base-term contracted revenue figures, total-term figures assuming exercise of all renewal options, Year 1 contracted revenue, rent escalators and delivery timing are as disclosed by the Company; renewal options are options and may not be exercised, and no revenue has been recognised under either lease. Delivery of Site I is expected in the first quarter of 2027 and remains subject to construction, equipment procurement, commissioning, financing and the performance of both parties. Lease backstops described for both sites are stated by the Company as expected and are not confirmed as executed; neither the tenants nor the backstop providers are named, and no inference should be drawn as to the identity of either. None of the companies referenced in this article is, or is suggested to be, a tenant, backstop provider, counterparty, sponsor or affiliate of Host Digital Inc. Cautionary Note Regarding the Merger, Listing and Capital: Host Digital Inc. completed its merger with Host Digital Infrastructure LLC on September 17, 2026, and began trading on NYSE American under the symbol HOST on September 18, 2026, following a prior listing under a different name and symbol. Companies that become public through such transactions may be subject to risks including share price volatility, dilution, limited operating history as a public company, and continued listing requirements. The underwritten public offering of 2,187,500 shares of Class A common stock at $8.00 per share priced on September 17, 2026 for gross proceeds of approximately $17.5 million before underwriting discounts and expenses, subject to increase if the underwriter exercises its over-allotment option. That amount is modest relative to the capital required to develop the facilities described, substantial additional financing will be required, and any such financing may be dilutive. The Company also continues to operate a natural and organic grocery business as a division following the merger. Readers should review the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in full, including the risk factors furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed September 17, 2026.

Equinix Accelerates AI Inference for Enterprises with NVIDIA and Together AISeptember 2, 2026 8:02 AM
PR Newswire (US) Equinix Inference Exchange combines NVIDIA Enterprise Reference Architectures, Together AI's inference platform and Equinix's global infrastructure to optimize deployment speed, flexibility and cost efficiency REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world's digital infrastructure company®, today announced a significant expansion of its longtime collaboration with NVIDIA to deliver Equinix® Inference Exchange, a distributed AI inference program for global enterprises, alongside a new collaboration with Together AI.As AI scales across models, providers and geographies, where inference runs is a strategic imperative that determines performance, cost and governance. Equinix Inference Exchange will give enterprises a faster path from AI experimentation to production, with secure, low-latency connectivity to the data, users and ecosystem they depend on.This collaboration brings together NVIDIA's validated Enterprise Reference Architectures with Together AI's inference platform, supporting more than 200 open-source models. Delivered through Equinix's global data centers, it will provide connectivity to clouds, networks and AI providers through Equinix Fabric®.The solution will be announced today at Equinix Horizon, the company's inaugural customer and partner event, alongside Equinix® Fabric One™, which will make it easier for enterprises to connect across globally distributed AI environments."AI is transforming enterprise technology at extraordinary speed, and the infrastructure decisions enterprises make today will define their competitive position for years to come. Equinix is uniquely positioned to deliver what this moment demands based on our nearly three decades building the trusted exchange where the world's enterprises run, connect and orchestrate their most critical workloads," said Adaire Fox-Martin, Chief Executive Officer and President, Equinix. "Our longtime relationship with NVIDIA delivers the accelerated computing foundation at the heart of modern AI, while Together AI's commitment to open ecosystems gives enterprises the flexibility to scale on their terms. Equinix Inference Exchange will enable architectures that are neutral by design, open by default and engineered for exceptional performance.""Equinix Inference Exchange turns the world's leading digital interconnection platform into a global fabric for AI inference," said Raj Mirpuri, vice president of global AI clouds and infrastructure ecosystem at NVIDIA. "As accelerated compute becomes a strategic asset class, combining NVIDIA's infrastructure & technology with Together AI's open-model inference platform and Equinix's global reach gives enterprises a powerful, distributed foundation to bring intelligence closer to their data, applications and customers—accelerating the next generation of intelligent services.""Together AI was built on the conviction that open, accessible AI is what will define the industry moving forward, because enterprises shouldn't have to choose between model performance and operational flexibility," said Vipul Ved Prakash, co-founder and CEO, Together AI. "What we are building with Equinix and NVIDIA proves that model choice and performance are not trade-offs. They are the foundation of enterprise AI done right."Where Inference Runs Matters The pace of enterprise AI adoption is outrunning the infrastructure needed to support it. As enterprise AI moves from experimentation to production, inference increasingly needs to run closer to the users, data and applications it serves across clouds, models, providers and geographies. This shift requires enterprises to determine not only how to deploy AI infrastructure, but where it should run and how it connects to the data, applications and workloads it depends on.Managing these distributed inference deployments introduces significant operational complexity at precisely the moment enterprises need greater control and visibility."Performance, cost and governance have become strategic considerations as AI workloads grow more distributed across providers, data sources and environments," said Nick Patience, Vice President & Practice Lead, AI Platforms, The Futurum Group. "Organizations are increasingly focused on where inference runs and how quickly it can be deployed into production. Solutions that simplify inference deployment while preserving flexibility will become increasingly important to achieve business outcomes."Equinix brings unmatched scale and ecosystem density to this challenge, with more than 280 data centers across 77 metros, 230 cloud on-ramps and over 10,500 businesses interconnected on its neutral exchange. Eight of the top 10 AI model providers and nine of the top 10 AI clouds are deployed with Equinix, underscoring the company's position at the center of the AI ecosystem.Built for Choice and FlexibilityTogether AI is the latest addition to Equinix's expansive AI ecosystem, bringing open-model flexibility and choice to enterprises deploying AI at scale. The solution combines three complementary layers designed to simplify distributed AI inference:Equinix provides the infrastructure foundation, including power, advanced cooling and day-two operations, connected through Equinix Fabric to the clouds, networks and AI providers that inference depends on.NVIDIA anchors the build with its Enterprise Reference Architectures and AI infrastructure purpose-built to maximize AI factory throughput and minimize token cost.  Together AI runs the platform on top, supporting both multitenant deployments for shared efficiency and dedicated single-tenant environments for workloads that require dedicated capacity.Built on Equinix Fabric, the solution will connect to inference providers across major metros worldwide, cutting time-to-first-token. It also will connect to an expansive ecosystem of clouds, networks and AI providers, reducing deployment complexity.Designed for Modern Enterprise InferenceThe solution aims to support a broad range of enterprise inference scenarios, including:Metro edge inference: For organizations that need inference running closer to users and data, enabling lower-latency AI experiences while leveraging the security, operational scale and global reach of Equinix.Open model migration: For enterprises moving workloads from closed, proprietary models to open-source alternatives to control cost and avoid lock-in, the solution will provide a direct, low-friction path to run that migration in production, with Together AI's open-model platform reachable over the same interconnected fabric enterprises already use to reach their other providers.Sovereign AI: For enterprises operating in regulated industries or specific geographies, the solution will enable AI workloads to run in locations that support data residency and sovereignty requirements, providing a simpler path to deploying AI at scale while maintaining control over where data and inference are processed.Equinix Inference Exchange will be available starting in Q1 2027.Additional ResourcesToken Optimization Begins with Choice [Analyst Report]The Coordination Economy: How Enterprises Really Build AI Value [Blog]Equinix Inference Exchange [Product Page]Equinix Inference Exchange Product Release Note [Product Release Note]Equinix Horizon Event Page [Event Page]About Equinix

Equinix Unveils Equinix Fabric One, Redefining How Enterprises Connect Across AI, Cloud and Networking InfrastructureSeptember 2, 2026 8:01 AM
PR Newswire (US) Equinix Fabric One will deliver any-to-any connectivity across enterprise, cloud and AI environments, with AWS and Google Cloud serving as lead integration partnersREDWOOD CITY, Calif., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world's digital infrastructure company®, today announced Equinix® Fabric One™, a managed, any-to-any connectivity service designed to simplify how enterprises connect distributed cloud, network and AI environments. The announcement was made at Equinix Horizon, the company's inaugural customer and partner event.  Built to address the networking complexity of the AI era, Equinix Fabric One will leverage open connectivity specifications developed by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud to support interoperability across distributed cloud, AI and enterprise environments. Customers will simply specify what they need connected and their requirements, and Equinix Fabric One determines and delivers the connectivity required to make it happen. At Horizon, Equinix is also announcing Equinix® Inference Exchange to accelerate enterprise AI infrastructure deployments."For decades, enterprise networks have been built one connection at a time for each partner and provider they depend on. That approach doesn't scale in a world of distributed AI that demands dynamic, flexible and real-time connectivity," said Chris Audie, Chief Product Officer, Equinix. "Equinix Fabric One will reduce the complexity that's slowing enterprises down by automatically managing connectivity across distributed architectures, based on the customer's intent."The Connectivity Modern Enterprises NeedAs enterprises need to connect to more clouds, AI providers, partners and locations, every new connection can become a networking project requiring specialized expertise, cross-functional coordination and ongoing management. That complexity can slow deployment and makes it harder for infrastructure to keep pace with the needs of the business."Networking is still a key area of enterprise infrastructure that remains heavily dependent on manual design and operations," said Andrew Buss, Senior Research Director, Cloud and Datacenters, Enterprise Infrastructure at IDC. "Organizations are increasingly looking for ways to simplify and automate how connectivity is provisioned and managed across distributed cloud and AI environments, but achieving this transformation remains a major challenge. Advances that enable more integrated automation and intent-driven approaches can reduce operational complexity and risk while supporting the flexibility modern AI and multicloud architectures require." Equinix Fabric One aims to modernize how enterprises consume connectivity. Instead of assembling and managing networking service component by component, customers simply specify what they need through a portal, APIs, automation workflows, agent-based requests or natural-language prompts. Equinix Fabric One will automatically orchestrate and manage the routing, cloud connectivity, encryption, resiliency and failover required to deliver that outcome as a single managed service.Equinix Fabric One is built on the company's trusted, neutral exchange of more than 10,500 interconnected businesses, approximately 3,000 cloud and IT providers, and active deployments by eight of the top 10 AI model providers and nine of the top 10 neoclouds. Equinix's neutrality gives enterprises the freedom to connect across providers while keeping their architecture flexible as business and technology needs evolve.Neutral by Design. Open by Default.Built on open connectivity specifications, Equinix Fabric One leverages the open source OpenAPI 3.0 Interconnect specification, which AWS and Google Cloud collaborated on to preserve choice and interoperability across distributed AI, cloud and enterprise environments. As enterprises move toward agentic architectures, applications and AI agents can discover, request and provision connectivity programmatically, without manual intervention."Customers shouldn't have to figure out how to connect across multiple clouds and AI environments on their own," said Robert Kennedy, Vice President, AWS network services. "They should just define what they need and have it work. Fabric One builds on the open interconnect specification that AWS and Google Cloud helped define and deliver exactly that. A managed service that handles the complexity so customers can focus on their AI workloads, not how everything connects."  "Cross-cloud interoperability is the backbone of the AI era," said Rob Enns, Vice President of Engineering, Cloud Networking, Google Cloud. "We helped establish the open interconnect specification so enterprises no longer have to manage the complexity of multi-cloud networking. By combining Google Cloud's Cross-Cloud Network capabilities with Equinix Fabric One, we are giving customers an automated, intent-driven network that lets them quickly deploy distributed AI workloads."Connectivity That Evolves with the Enterprise The world's leading organizations are increasingly seeking connectivity models that allow teams to focus on what they need rather than the complexity of building and managing individual connections."As technology environments become more distributed, AI workloads and multicloud architectures require connectivity that is flexible, scalable and easier to manage," said Paul Hager, CEO, Hyundai AutoEver America. "Equinix Fabric One has the potential to accelerate our efforts to meet those needs."Equinix Fabric One is expected to enter beta later this year, with general availability planned for 2027, initially in North America.Additional ResourcesThe Network Is How Multicloud AI Scales [Analyst Report]The Coordination Economy: How Enterprises Really Build AI Value [Blog]Equinix Fabric One [Product Page]Equinix Fabric One Product Release Note [Release Note]Equinix Horizon Event Page [Event Page]About Equinix

Equinix Partners with Central Georgia Electric Membership Corporation to Protect RatepayersAugust 6, 2026 8:01 AM
PR Newswire (US) New contract model has Equinix cover full costs of transmission and power infrastructure, backed by a 20-year take-or-pay agreement for the Hampton, Ga. projectREDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world's digital infrastructure company® and regional, not-for-profit utility cooperative Central Georgia Electric Membership Corporation (CGEMC) announced a new partnership to protect Hampton, Ga. ratepayers and surrounding communities. In keeping with the company's commitment to President Trump's Ratepayer Protection Pledge, Equinix will cover all grid infrastructure improvements and fund new transmission and power capacity needed to support growth and improve regional grid reliability and affordability for decades to come."The United States needs bold infrastructure investment, and we're proud to support efforts to drive economic growth and cutting-edge innovation while protecting ratepayers every step of the way," said Equinix Senior Vice President of Global Energy Adrian Anderson. "Our investment in Georgia shows the power of this idea in action. We've covered costs through an agreement that is locked in for more than 20 years, giving the community the certainty they can count on."The agreement outlines that Equinix will cover any financial obligations CGEMC takes on for grid upgrades and new generation supply for the Hampton project, including unforeseen or shifting costs, guaranteeing that ratepayers are never left to pay costs associated with the project. Equinix will also supply up-front payments for the initial grid upgrade costs, covering a new high-voltage substation and two new high-voltage transmission lines, and early site assessments, modeling and engineering work. To lock in these provisions, Equinix and CGEMC have entered a 20-year "take-or-pay" style contract, meaning Equinix will pay 100% of CGEMC's costs for serving the contracted demand of the Hampton facility."This agreement with Equinix is a model for how utilities and data centers can come together to meet new power requests responsibly and fulfill President Trump's Ratepayer Protection Pledge," said CGEMC President & CEO George L. Weaver. "With this agreement in place, CGEMC can improve the reliability of our system, deliver economic opportunity to the region, and ensure large new customers are paying their fair share."Equinix has been part of the metro Atlanta community for more than 15 years. Through the Hampton project, it will contribute up to $20 million annually in property tax revenue to the community, funding schools and emergency services, and will create more than 990 jobs from across the local economy. In 2023 alone, its presence contributed $23 million to household incomes in Atlanta from employment and value chain spend. The project will also extend Equinix's Pathways to Tech program to the region, which educates local students about careers in the data center industry. In 2025, Equinix hosted more than 60 data center tours and education sessions to engage over 1,800 students across 32 locations."Companies like Equinix are helping our state and nation stay at the forefront of innovative technology," said Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. "By partnering with Central Georgia EMC in this way, they are making key investments in the local community and protecting ratepayers at the same time.""Hampton is proud to welcome this kind of responsible, long-term investment in our community," said Mayor Ann Tarpley. "Equinix's commitment to covering these infrastructure costs upfront means our residents and local businesses get the benefits of growth, new jobs, stronger schools, and a more reliable grid, without carrying the financial burden. This is exactly the kind of partnership that helps a city like ours grow the right way."This agreement builds off Equinix's partnerships with PG&E in San Jose, Calif. and ComEd in Northern Illinois and can serve as a model for other projects across the country. Additional ResourcesEquinix Together: Our five principles of community investmentBlog: We're not just building data centers.

All Nippon Airways Builds Cloud Network Hub with EquinixAugust 5, 2026 8:01 AM
PR Newswire (US) Japan's airline cuts network provisioning time from months to weeks and prepares for a tenfold increase in global data volumesREDWOOD CITY, Calif. and TOKYO, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world's digital infrastructure company®, today announced that All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd. (ANA) has transformed its digital infrastructure with Equinix Fabric® to support the next generation of passenger services, including reservations, boarding, customer communications and operational systems. Facing a projected 10x increase in global data volumes, Japan's leading airline established a centralized cloud network hub that reduced network provisioning time by approximately 80%, making resources available for application development and testing. This agile foundation allows ANA to accelerate application testing, increase business agility and target a 30% reduction in its five-year total cost of ownership.As organizations modernize digital infrastructure for hybrid multicloud environments and growing data volumes, many are adopting more agile and scalable connectivity models. ANA's deployment of Equinix Fabric reflects this broader shift, transforming its network into a future-ready digital foundation that enhances passenger services, increases business agility, and supports long-term growth. Through Equinix Fabric, ANA has accelerated connectivity deployment, improved cost efficiency and strengthened its ability to support the next generation of data-driven passenger experiences. Equinix helps ANA ensure security and compliance through private connectivity, consistent centralized policy enforcement and alignment with modern security frameworks.Jun Nakazato, Manager, IT Infrastructure Team, Digital Governance Department, Digital Transformation Division, All Nippon Airways, said, "Our rapid business expansion demanded a network with unprecedented flexibility. Rather than continuing to expand our existing network environment, we recognized that implementing network-as-a-service was the most effective path forward. Equinix Fabric delivers the dynamic foundation we need to scale seamlessly. Equinix serves not merely as a vendor, but as a critical strategic partner in modernizing our global systems and enabling our future growth."Operating approximately 280 aircraft across more than 200 domestic and international routes, ANA's operations are built on a highly resilient digital infrastructure that serves as the foundation for mission-critical passenger services, including reservations, boarding, customer communications and operational systems. As ANA expanded its business and accelerated adoption of hybrid and multicloud environments, the organization faced growing pressure to integrate increasingly sophisticated systems while maintaining the speed, flexibility and reliability expected of a world-class airline. Traditional network architectures that relied on dedicated circuits for individual systems became increasingly complex and costly to scale as connectivity requirements continued to evolve.To address these challenges, ANA redesigned its network architecture around a centralized cloud network hub powered by Equinix Fabric. The software-defined interconnection platform enables secure, on-demand connectivity to leading cloud providers, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, without the need to deploy additional physical circuits.By centralizing connectivity through Equinix Fabric, ANA has transformed its network from a traditionally provisioned infrastructure into a more agile, software-defined platform. The cloud network hub provides secure, on-demand access to leading cloud environments while enabling ANA to scale connectivity more efficiently as business needs evolve. Faster infrastructure provisioning and seamless connectivity across cloud environments can enable more integrated customer services, real-time operational coordination, and earlier adoption of new applications and services. This flexible architecture supports ANA's broader passenger service modernization strategy and provides a resilient foundation for advanced analytics, automation, emerging AI workloads and future digital innovation.Kuniko Ogawa, Managing Director, Japan, Equinix, said, "ANA's deployment of Equinix Fabric demonstrates what's possible when enterprises evolve how they consume infrastructure, not by ripping and replacing, but by adding intelligence and flexibility on top of a resilient physical infrastructure. We're proud to support ANA as it builds a digital foundation capable of handling tomorrow's data demands while delivering better experiences for passengers today."About All Nippon Airways (ANA)  Founded in 1952 with just two helicopters, All Nippon Airways (ANA) has grown to become Japan's largest airline and a global leader in premium service. ANA operates an extensive international and domestic network, connecting destinations across Asia, North America, Europe and beyond. With a focus on quality and omotenashi, ANA delivers a consistently high standard of service across every stage of the journey.ANA is the only Japanese airline to have earned SKYTRAX's 5-Star rating every year since 2013, underscoring its consistent excellence. The airline is also a four-time recipient of the Air Transport World's (ATW) Airline of the Year award. In 2025, ANA was honored with FlightGlobal's Executive Leadership: Asia-Pacific Award, reflecting its continued focus on innovation and strategic growth.As part of ANA HOLDINGS Inc., ANA continues to invest in the onboard experience, its fleet and digital services to enhance the travel experience for passengers worldwide. For more information about ANA and ANA HD, please visit: https://www.ana.co.jp/group/en/About Equinix

Its digital infrastructure, data center footprint and interconnected ecosystems empower innovations that enhance our work, life and planet. Equinix connects economies, countries, organizations and communities, delivering seamless digital experiences and cutting-edge AI—quickly, efficiently and everywhere.Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresEquinix provides all information required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), but it believes that evaluating its ongoing results of operations may be difficult if limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, Equinix also uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its operations.Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, but should be considered together with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. As such, Equinix provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.Investors should note that the non-GAAP financial measures used by Equinix may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as those of other companies. Investors should therefore exercise caution when comparing non-GAAP financial measures used by Equinix to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of other companies.Equinix's primary non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") as described below. Equinix presents these measures to provide investors with additional tools to evaluate its results in a manner that focuses on what management believes to be its core, ongoing business operations. These measures exclude items which Equinix believes are generally not relevant to assessing its long-term performance. Both measures eliminate the impacts of depreciation and amortization, which are derived from historical costs and which Equinix believes are not indicative of current or future expenditures, and other items for which the frequency and amount of charges can vary based on the timing and significance of individual transactions. Equinix believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with past reports and that if it did not provide such non-GAAP financial information, investors would not have all the necessary data to analyze the company effectively.Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate the operating strength and performance of its core, ongoing business, without regard to its capital or tax structures. It also aids in assessing the performance of, making operating decisions for, and allocating resources to its operating segments. In addition to the uses described above, Equinix believes this measure provides investors with a better understanding of the operating performance of the business and its ability to perform in subsequent periods.Equinix defines adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding:income tax expenseinterest incomeinterest expenseother income or expensegain or loss on debt extinguishmentdepreciation, amortization and accretion expensestock-based compensation expenserestructuring and other exit charges, which primarily include employee severance, facility closure costs, lease or other contract termination costs and advisory fees related to the realignment of our management structure, operations or products and other exit activitiesimpairment chargestransaction costsgain or loss on asset salesAFFO is derived from Funds from Operations ("FFO") calculated in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. Both FFO and AFFO are non-GAAP measures commonly used in the REIT industry. Although these measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies, Equinix believes that the presentation of these measures provides investors with an additional tool for comparing its performance with the performance of other companies in the REIT industry. Additionally, AFFO is a performance measure used in certain of the company's employee incentive programs, and Equinix believes it is a useful measure in assessing its dividend-paying capacity, as it isolates the cash impact of certain income and expense items and considers the impact of recurring capital expenditures.Equinix defines FFO as net income attributable to common stockholders excluding:gain or loss from the disposition of real estate assetsdepreciation and amortization expense on real estate assetsadjustments related to unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interestsEquinix defines AFFO as FFO adjusted for:depreciation and amortization expense on non-real estate assetsaccretion expensestock-based compensation expensestock-based charitable contributionsrestructuring and other exit charges, as described aboveimpairment chargestransaction costsimpacts of straight-lining installation revenueimpacts of straight-lining rent expenseimpacts of straight-lining contract costsamortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts and premiumsgain or loss from the disposition of non-real estate assetsgain or loss on debt extinguishmentan income tax expense adjustment, which represents the non-cash tax impact due to changes in valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions and deferred taxesrecurring capital expenditures, which represent expenditures to extend the useful life of data centers or other assets that are required to support current revenuesnet income or loss from discontinued operations, net of taxadjustments from FFO to AFFO related to unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interestsEquinix provides normalized and constant currency growth rates for revenues, adjusted EBITDA, AFFO and AFFO per share. These growth rates assume foreign currency rates remain consistent across comparative periods. Revenue growth rates exclude the impact of net power pass-through, acquisitions, divestitures and the Equinix Metal® wind-down. Adjusted EBITDA growth rates exclude the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and integration costs. AFFO growth rates exclude the impact of acquisitions and related financing costs, divestitures, integration costs and balance sheet remeasurements. AFFO per share growth rates exclude the impact of integration costs and balance sheet remeasurements.Equinix presents cash cost of revenues and cash operating expenses (also known as cash selling, general and administrative expenses or cash SG&A). These measures exclude depreciation, amortization, accretion and stock-based compensation, which are not good indicators of Equinix's current or future operating performance, as described above.Equinix also presents free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus net cash provided by (used in) investing activities excluding the net purchases of and distributions from equity investments. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow excluding any real estate and business acquisitions, net of cash and restricted cash acquired. These measures are presented in order for lenders, investors and the industry analysts who review and report on Equinix to better evaluate Equinix's cash spending levels relative to its industry sector and competitors.Forward-Looking StatementsThis press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Equinix Puts Enterprises in Control of Data Sovereignty Across Hybrid Multicloud EnvironmentsMay 14, 2026 8:01 AM
PR Newswire (US) Announces global expansion of Fabric Geo Zones across five continents, the first network-level, multicloud sovereignty solution REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world's digital infrastructure company®, today announced the global expansion of Equinix Fabric Geo Zones, the first network-level, sovereignty enforcement layer that operates across interconnected clouds and providers. Enterprises face growing compliance risks from network rerouting events that can inadvertently move sovereign data across borders they are legally required to respect. Built natively into Equinix Fabric®, Geo Zones eliminates that risk by keeping data within defined geographic boundaries."Businesses are facing one of the most complex global regulatory environments in history while at the same time facing huge pressure to deploy new technologies," said Courtney Munroe, Founder, Apex Research. "A global enterprise operating under GDPR in Europe, LGPD in Brazil, and APRA in Australia simultaneously needs different data routing rules for each jurisdiction, with every outage, failover, or congestion event a potential compliance violation. With Fabric Geo Zones, Equinix is delivering a foundational solution that is truly built from the ground up with native sovereignty controls at its core, giving enterprises confidence to operate in a globally fragmented regulated environment."Most networks prioritize availability and performance over geographic or regulatory boundaries, often leaving customers with limited visibility or control over where their data travels. Fabric Geo Zones ensures that rerouted data remains within defined jurisdictions. This capability is especially critical for organizations operating in regulated industries.Unlike solutions built within a single cloud or delivered as software overlays, Fabric Geo Zones enforces sovereignty at the network layer. Because it is enforced directly within the interconnection fabric itself, it delivers a level of control difficult for a single cloud or software overlay provider to match."Sovereignty can't be a setting you configure inside a single cloud. Global enterprises must enforce sovereignty at the network layer, across every cloud, provider and path simultaneously," said Arun Dev, Vice President of Digital Interconnection at Equinix. "Equinix Fabric Geo Zones is the only solution that enforces geographic boundaries as a property of the network itself. Traffic either flows along compliant paths or it's blocked. That's why enterprises across industries trust Equinix to move data across clouds without compromising sovereignty."The expansion of Fabric Geo Zones is part of Equinix's ongoing investment in reimagining networking for the AI era, following the launch of Fabric Intelligence and the Distributed AI Hub. Together, these capabilities provide customers with an adaptive, secure foundation for distributed AI and multicloud environments. Fabric Geo Zones is built on the Equinix Fabric industry-leading software-defined network spanning 77 metros worldwide, enabling customer-controlled data sovereignty at global scale. Reflecting the advanced compliance and control it delivers, Geo Zones is available at a premium tier—included in Unlimited Ports and Unlimited Ports Plus packages and priced at a premium to standard virtual circuits.Fabric Geo Zones is built for workloads where compliance can't be an afterthought. A European financial institution can run real-time transactions across multiple clouds while ensuring customer data never leaves the EU, even when an outage triggers automatic rerouting across clouds. A healthcare organization can keep patient and AI inference data within defined jurisdictions across hybrid environments. A government agency can deploy sovereign AI with data confined to national or regional boundaries. A global company can automatically apply jurisdiction-specific routing rules to meet GDPR, LGPD, APRA and other regional requirements across its operations.Fabric Geo Zones enables customers to: Keep sensitive data within approved jurisdictionsReduce regulatory and jurisdictional risk from unintended cross-border routingAccelerate deployments using Fabric Super AgentEliminate uncertainty during failover where outages reroute sensitive trafficFabric Geo Zones is available today in preview across Equinix's global footprint, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, the U.K. and the U.S., with European Union availability to come in June. Equinix will be speaking about this at the International Telecoms Week conference panels on May 19: "The quest for sovereign AI meets the edge-cloud infrastructure battle" and "Unleashing the 3 pillars of AI."Additional Resources Data Sovereignty vs. Global AI Scale: The Networking Challenge Facing Every Digital Business [Blog Post]About Equinix

Equinix does not provide forward-looking guidance for certain financial data, such as depreciation, amortization, accretion, stock-based compensation and other components of net income or loss from operations, and as a result, is not able to provide a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for forward-looking data without unreasonable effort. The impact of such adjustments could be significant. Equinix intends to calculate the various non-GAAP financial measures in future periods consistent with how they were calculated for the periods presented within this press release.For the second quarter of 2026, the company expects revenues to range between $2.571 and $2.611 billion, an increase of 6% at the midpoint over the previous quarter, on both an as-reported and a normalized and constant currency basis.

This guidance includes a $21 million raise from better-than-expected Q1 operating performance. It also includes a minimal foreign currency benefit when compared to prior guidance. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to range between $5.165 and $5.245 billion, reflecting an adjusted EBITDA margin of 51%, an approximate +2% expansion over the previous year. This guidance includes a $24 million raise from better-than-expected Q1 operating performance. It also includes a minimal foreign currency benefit when compared to prior guidance. AFFO is expected to range between $4.198 and $4.278 billion, an increase of 12 - 14% over the previous year on an as-reported basis, or 10 - 12% on a normalized and constant currency basis. This guidance includes a $40 million raise from better-than-expected Q1 operating performance. This guidance also includes a minimal foreign currency impact when compared to prior guidance rates. AFFO per share is expected to range between $42.31 and $43.11, an increase of 10 - 12% over the previous year on an as-reported basis, or 9 - 11% on a normalized and constant currency basis.

As such, Equinix provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.Investors should note that the non-GAAP financial measures used by Equinix may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as those of other companies. Investors should therefore exercise caution when comparing non-GAAP financial measures used by Equinix to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of other companies.Equinix's primary non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") as described below. Equinix presents these measures to provide investors with additional tools to evaluate its results in a manner that focuses on what management believes to be its core, ongoing business operations. These measures exclude items which Equinix believes are generally not relevant to assessing its long-term performance. Both measures eliminate the impacts of depreciation and amortization, which are derived from historical costs and which Equinix believes are not indicative of current or future expenditures, and other items for which the frequency and amount of charges can vary based on the timing and significance of individual transactions. Equinix believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with past reports and that if it did not provide such non-GAAP financial information, investors would not have all the necessary data to analyze the company effectively.Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate the operating strength and performance of its core, ongoing business, without regard to its capital or tax structures. It also aids in assessing the performance of, making operating decisions for, and allocating resources to its operating segments. In addition to the uses described above, Equinix believes this measure provides investors with a better understanding of the operating performance of the business and its ability to perform in subsequent periods.Equinix defines adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding:income tax expenseinterest incomeinterest expenseother income or expensegain or loss on debt extinguishmentdepreciation, amortization and accretion expensestock-based compensation expenserestructuring and other exit charges, which primarily include employee severance, facility closure costs, lease or other contract termination costs and advisory fees related to the realignment of our management structure, operations or products and other exit activitiesimpairment chargestransaction costsgain or loss on asset salesAFFO is derived from Funds from Operations ("FFO") calculated in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. Both FFO and AFFO are non-GAAP measures commonly used in the REIT industry. Although these measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies, Equinix believes that the presentation of these measures provides investors with an additional tool for comparing its performance with the performance of other companies in the REIT industry. Additionally, AFFO is a performance measure used in certain of the company's employee incentive programs, and Equinix believes it is a useful measure in assessing its dividend-paying capacity, as it isolates the cash impact of certain income and expense items and considers the impact of recurring capital expenditures.Equinix defines FFO as net income attributable to common stockholders excluding:gain or loss from the disposition of real estate assetsdepreciation and amortization expense on real estate assetsadjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures' and non-controlling interests' share of these itemsEquinix defines AFFO as FFO adjusted for:depreciation and amortization expense on non-real estate assetsaccretion expensestock-based compensation expensestock-based charitable contributionsrestructuring and other exit charges, as described aboveimpairment chargestransaction costsan adjustment to remove the impacts of straight-lining installation revenuean adjustment to remove the impacts of straight-lining rent expensean adjustment to remove the impacts of straight-lining contract costsamortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts and premiumsgain or loss from the disposition of non-real estate assetsgain or loss on debt extinguishmentan income tax expense adjustment, which represents the non-cash tax impact due to changes in valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions and deferred taxesrecurring capital expenditures, which represent expenditures to extend the useful life of data centers or other assets that are required to support current revenuesnet income or loss from discontinued operations, net of taxadjustments from FFO to AFFO for unconsolidated joint ventures' and non-controlling interests' share of these itemsEquinix provides normalized and constant currency growth rates for revenues, adjusted EBITDA, AFFO and AFFO per share. These growth rates assume foreign currency rates remain consistent across comparative periods. Revenue growth rates exclude the impact of net power pass-through, acquisitions, divestitures and the Equinix Metal® wind-down. Adjusted EBITDA growth rates exclude the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and integration costs. AFFO growth rates exclude the impact of acquisitions and related financing costs, divestitures, integration costs and balance sheet remeasurements. AFFO per share growth rates exclude the impact of integration costs and balance sheet remeasurements.Equinix presents cash cost of revenues and cash operating expenses (also known as cash selling, general and administrative expenses or cash SG&A). These measures exclude depreciation, amortization, accretion and stock-based compensation, which are not good indicators of Equinix's current or future operating performance, as described above.Equinix also presents free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus net cash provided by (used in) investing activities excluding the net purchases of and distributions from equity investments. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow excluding any real estate and business acquisitions, net of cash and restricted cash acquired. These measures are presented in order for lenders, investors and the industry analysts who review and report on Equinix to better evaluate Equinix's cash spending levels relative to its industry sector and competitors.Forward-Looking StatementsThis press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Equinix Unveils the Distributed AI Hub to Simplify and Secure Enterprise AI InfrastructureMarch 11, 2026 8:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Integrated with Palo Alto Networks to deliver real-time threat detection for AI workloadsREDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world's digital infrastructure company®, today unveiled the Distributed AI Hub, powered by Equinix Fabric Intelligence™, to provide a single, unified framework for enterprises to connect, secure and simplify their increasingly complex and distributed AI ecosystems. The Hub is a neutral location that allows enterprises to discover, connect to and consume AI infrastructure providers—including model companies, GPU clouds, data platforms, network and security services, and AI frameworks—all through private, low-latency connectivity at Equinix's 280 high performance data centers."Enterprises are racing to deploy agentic AI but are finding that their existing infrastructure was never designed for the complexities of distributed intelligence," said Mary Johnston Turner, Research Vice President, Digital Infrastructure Strategies at IDC. "By 2027, IDC expects 80% of enterprises will deploy distributed edge infrastructure to improve the latency and responsiveness of AI applications. Enterprises will need solutions like Equinix's Distributed AI Hub to enable them to unify these disparate systems."To unlock the true value of agentic AI, enterprises need to unify inherently distributed workflows: training data and inference workloads sprawled across public clouds, private data centers, edge environments and a rising wave of specialized neoclouds, each with unique performance and sovereignty constraints. This maze of silos can slow innovation, complicate governance and make it nearly impossible to run AI workloads close to the data that fuels them—limiting business impact and user experience.That is why Equinix is taking its distributed AI infrastructure a step further with the launch of the Distributed AI Hub, giving enterprises a simple, secure, more performant way to run AI across different locations."AI isn't centralized—but the right infrastructure can make it run as seamlessly as if it were," said Jon Lin, Chief Business Officer at Equinix. "Equinix is the neutral ground where AI, cloud and networking infrastructure converge. We are providing enterprises the freedom to build and scale AI wherever their data, partners, and teams already live, while running inference close to the data and users that depend on it, without the operational drag that comes from stitching together complex, distributed systems. With our Distributed AI Hub, we're giving customers a simpler, smarter, and far more connected way to run and scale their AI today. We are building one of the most expansive and neutral AI ecosystems."The Distributed AI Hub provides a unified framework that brings together data, compute, cloud platforms and AI ecosystem partners in a vendor-neutral environment. It enables enterprises to run AI workloads where they perform best without rebuilding their architecture each time or moving data to different locations. The Hub offers a simple, secure way to connect models, move data, run inferencing and manage distributed AI systems with consistent governance and control. Unlike hyperscaler AI marketplaces that favor their own services, the Distributed AI Hub is open and vendor-neutral by design, giving customers the freedom to compose their own AI stack from best-of-breed providers.The Hub's first integration with Palo Alto Networks empowers customers to enable real-time protection for agent and model interactions with external tools and data sources. By combining Equinix's global distributed AI infrastructure and high-speed, private interconnection with Palo Alto Networks Prisma AIRS real-time AI security and centralized policy enforcement, enterprises gain visibility and control over AI applications, data and interactions, across any location. Additionally, Prisma AIRS will be available on Equinix Network Edge, allowing organizations to centrally manage AI-driven security services at the digital edge, closer to users, clouds and critical workloads."The conversation around distributed AI is finally getting real," said Lloyd Taylor, CTO/CISO, at Alembic. "It's more than compute and data, it's controlling where the data lives and how the compute runs. Equinix is framing that problem the right way, by bringing placement, governance, and predictable performance into the same architecture with the Distributed AI Hub. This is what makes distributed AI viable at enterprise scale."The Distributed AI Hub is available globally at 280 Equinix data center locations, enabling enterprises to deploy consistent AI infrastructure patterns worldwide. Equinix will be participating at NVIDIA GTC—located at Booth 1030—and will be previewing the Hub.Additional ResourcesEquinix and Palo Alto Networks Partner to Enable AI You Can Trust [Blog]Equinix Distributed AI [Webpage]About Equinix

Equinix Surges 10% After Upbeat 2026 Outlook; Analysts Weigh InFebruary 12, 2026 6:18 AM
IH Market News
Equinix (NASDAQ:EQIX) climbed roughly 10% in extended trading, nearing $954, after the data center operator issued a 2026 revenue forecast that topped Wall Street expectations, supported by sustained demand for AI-driven infrastructure.The company projected full-year 2026 revenue in a range of $10.12 billion to $10.22 billion, ahead of the $10.07 billion consensus estimate compiled by LSEG. Equinix also expects adjusted funds from operations per share to grow 10.5% in 2026, well above the 5% growth target outlined at its June 2025 investor day.Management said 60% of its largest fourth-quarter bookings were tied to artificial intelligence workloads, with close to half of those contracts coming from traditional enterprises rather than major cloud providers. Equinix added that it has already secured 45% of its first-quarter bookings goal, signaling solid carryover momentum into the new year.BofA described Equinix as its “top data center pick,” highlighting that the company anticipates leasing about half of its 240-megawatt capacity to a hyperscale customer in the first quarter of 2026, with the balance expected to be committed by year-end.Barclays analysts noted that while some non-recurring revenue has shifted from the fourth quarter of 2025 into 2026, the growth outlook “remains strong and above consensus expectations.”MoffettNathanson pointed to improving fundamentals, including the prospect of lower financing costs for capital expenditures than previously assumed. Meanwhile, Raymond James acknowledged “solid results” but retained a cautious tone, citing the company’s “multi-year transition to double its size, with significant capex investment in a compressed timeframe.”Equinix stock price

Equinix does not provide forward-looking guidance for certain financial data, such as depreciation, amortization, accretion, stock-based compensation and other components of net income or loss from operations, and as a result, is not able to provide a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for forward-looking data without unreasonable effort. The impact of such adjustments could be significant. Equinix intends to calculate the various non-GAAP financial measures in future periods consistent with how they were calculated for the periods presented within this press release.For the first quarter of 2026, the company expects revenues to range between $2.496 and $2.536 billion, an increase of 4% at the midpoint over the previous quarter, on both an as-reported and a normalized and constant currency basis. This guidance includes a $20 million foreign currency benefit when compared to the average FX rates in Q4 2025. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to range between $1.283 and $1.323 billion. This guidance includes an $11 million foreign currency benefit when compared to the average FX rates in Q4 2025. Recurring capital expenditures are expected to range between $28 and $48 million.For the full year of 2026, total revenues are expected to range between $10.123 and $10.223 billion, an as-reported increase of approximately 10 - 11% over the previous year, or 9 - 10% on a normalized and constant currency basis. This guidance includes a $36 million foreign currency benefit when compared to the prior guidance rates. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to range between $5.141 and $5.221 billion, reflecting an adjusted EBITDA margin of 51%, an approximate 200 basis-point expansion over the previous year. This guidance also includes a $17 million foreign currency benefit when compared to prior guidance. AFFO is expected to range between $4.158 and $4.238 billion, an increase of 11 - 13% over the previous year on an as-reported basis, or 9 - 11% on a normalized and constant currency basis. This guidance also includes a $13 million foreign currency benefit when compared to prior guidance rates. AFFO per share is expected to range between $41.93 and $42.74, a 9 - 12% as-reported increase over the previous year, or 8 - 10% on a normalized and constant currency basis. Total capital expenditures are expected to range between $3.655 and $4.155 billion. Non-recurring capital expenditures, excluding on-balance sheet xScale-related spend, are expected to range between $3.385 and $3.865 billion. Recurring capital expenditures are expected to range between $270 and $290 million.The U.S. dollar exchange rates used for 2026 guidance, taking into consideration the impact of our current foreign currency hedges, have been updated to $1.14 to the Euro, $1.31 to the British Pound, S$1.27 to the U.S. Dollar, ¥157 to the U.S. Dollar, A$1.43 to the U.S. Dollar, HK$7.81 to the U.S. Dollar, R$5.22 to the U.S. Dollar and C$1.37 to the U.S. Dollar. The Q4 2025 global revenue breakdown by currency for the Euro, British Pound, Singapore Dollar, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollar, Hong Kong Dollar, Brazilian Real and Canadian Dollar is 21%, 10%, 8%, 5%, 3%, 3%, 3% and 2%, respectively.Business HighlightsCapitalized on strong customer demand to close more than 4,500 deals in Q4, with approximately 60% of the largest deals driven by AI workloads.Salesforce has deepened its partnership with Equinix to build a private network for Data 360 – the activation engine inside Salesforce's data and AI foundation.

In addition, the webcast will be available at www.equinix.com/investors (no password required).Investor Presentation and Supplemental Financial Information Equinix has made available on its website a presentation designed to accompany the discussion of Equinix's results and future outlook, along with certain supplemental financial information and other data. Interested parties may access this information through the Equinix Investor Relations website at www.equinix.com/investors.Additional ResourcesEquinix Investor Relations ResourcesAbout EquinixEquinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX) shortens the path to boundless connectivity anywhere in the world. Its digital infrastructure, data center footprint and interconnected ecosystems empower innovations that enhance our work, life and planet. Equinix connects economies, countries, organizations and communities, delivering seamless digital experiences and cutting-edge AI—quickly, efficiently and everywhere.Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresEquinix provides all information required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), but it believes that evaluating its ongoing results of operations may be difficult if limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, Equinix also uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its operations.Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, but should be considered together with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. As such, Equinix provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.Investors should note that the non-GAAP financial measures used by Equinix may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as those of other companies. Investors should therefore exercise caution when comparing non-GAAP financial measures used by Equinix to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of other companies.Equinix's primary non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") as described below. Equinix presents these measures to provide investors with additional tools to evaluate its results in a manner that focuses on what management believes to be its core, ongoing business operations. These measures exclude items which Equinix believes are generally not relevant to assessing its long-term performance. Both measures eliminate the impacts of depreciation and amortization, which are derived from historical costs and which Equinix believes are not indicative of current or future expenditures, and other items for which the frequency and amount of charges can vary based on the timing and significance of individual transactions. Equinix believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with past reports and that if it did not provide such non-GAAP financial information, investors would not have all the necessary data to analyze the company effectively.Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate the operating strength and performance of its core, ongoing business, without regard to its capital or tax structures. It also aids in assessing the performance of, making operating decisions for, and allocating resources to its operating segments. In addition to the uses described above, Equinix believes this measure provides investors with a better understanding of the operating performance of the business and its ability to perform in subsequent periods.Equinix defines adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding:income tax expenseinterest incomeinterest expenseother income or expensegain or loss on debt extinguishmentdepreciation, amortization and accretion expensestock-based compensation expenserestructuring and other exit charges, which primarily include employee severance, facility closure costs, lease or other contract termination costs and advisory fees related to the realignment of our management structure, operations or products and other exit activitiesimpairment chargestransaction costsgain or loss on asset salesAFFO is derived from Funds from Operations ("FFO") calculated in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. Both FFO and AFFO are non-GAAP measures commonly used in the REIT industry. Although these measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies, Equinix believes that the presentation of these measures provides investors with an additional tool for comparing its performance with the performance of other companies in the REIT industry. Additionally, AFFO is a performance measure used in certain of the company's employee incentive programs, and Equinix believes it is a useful measure in assessing its dividend-paying capacity, as it isolates the cash impact of certain income and expense items and considers the impact of recurring capital expenditures.Equinix defines FFO as net income attributable to common stockholders excluding:gain or loss from the disposition of real estate assetsdepreciation and amortization expense on real estate assetsadjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures' and non-controlling interests' share of these itemsEquinix defines AFFO as FFO adjusted for:depreciation and amortization expense on non-real estate assetsaccretion expensestock-based compensation expensestock-based charitable contributionsrestructuring and other exit charges, as described aboveimpairment chargestransaction costsan adjustment to remove the impacts of straight-lining installation revenuean adjustment to remove the impacts of straight-lining rent expensean adjustment to remove the impacts of straight-lining contract costsamortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts and premiumsgain or loss from the disposition of non-real estate assetsgain or loss on debt extinguishmentan income tax expense adjustment, which represents the non-cash tax impact due to changes in valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions and deferred taxesrecurring capital expenditures, which represent expenditures to extend the useful life of data centers or other assets that are required to support current revenuesnet income or loss from discontinued operations, net of taxadjustments from FFO to AFFO for unconsolidated joint ventures' and non-controlling interests' share of these itemsEquinix provides normalized and constant currency growth rates for revenues, adjusted EBITDA, AFFO and AFFO per share. These growth rates assume foreign currency rates remain consistent across comparative periods. Revenue growth rates exclude the impact of net power pass-through, acquisitions, divestitures and the Equinix Metal® wind-down. Adjusted EBITDA growth rates exclude the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and integration costs. AFFO growth rates exclude the impact of acquisitions and related financing costs, divestitures, integration costs and balance sheet remeasurements. AFFO per share growth rates exclude the impact of integration costs and balance sheet remeasurements.Equinix presents cash cost of revenues and cash operating expenses (also known as cash selling, general and administrative expenses or cash SG&A). These measures exclude depreciation, amortization, accretion and stock-based compensation, which are not good indicators of Equinix's current or future operating performance, as described above.Equinix also presents free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus net cash provided by (used in) investing activities excluding the net purchases of and distributions from equity investments. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow excluding any real estate and business acquisitions, net of cash and restricted cash acquired. These measures are presented in order for lenders, investors and the industry analysts who review and report on Equinix to better evaluate Equinix's cash spending levels relative to its industry sector and competitors.Forward-Looking StatementsThis press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from expectations discussed in such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, risks to our business and operating results related to the current inflationary environment; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; stock price fluctuations; increased costs to procure power and the general volatility in the global energy market; the challenges of building and operating IBX® and xScale® data centers, including those related to sourcing suitable power and land, and any supply chain constraints or increased costs of supplies; the challenges of developing, deploying and delivering Equinix products and solutions; unanticipated costs or difficulties relating to the integration of companies we have acquired or will acquire into Equinix; a failure to receive significant revenues from customers in recently built out or acquired data centers; failure to complete any financing arrangements contemplated from time to time; competition from existing and new competitors; the ability to generate sufficient cash flow or otherwise obtain funds to repay new or outstanding indebtedness; the loss or decline in business from our key customers; risks related to our taxation as a REIT; risks related to regulatory inquiries or litigation; and other risks described from time to time in Equinix filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

WHY: A recently filed federal securities fraud class action complaint against Equinix, Inc. (NASDAQ: EQIX) and certain of its officers has survived Defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint. Grabar Law Office is investigating whether officers and directors of Equinix, Inc. have breached their fiduciary duties owed to the company.

The underlying complaint alleges that Equinix, via certain of its officers and directors, made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Equinix manipulated its financials to reduce operational expenses and boost Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”); (2) Equinix oversold power capacity and did not warn of the risks associated with this practice; (3) Equinix lacked adequate internal controls; and (4) as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times.

In denying the Defendants’ motion to dismiss the Court found:

In all, the complaint raises a strong inference that Equinix misclassified routine recurring capital purchases—like chillers, batteries, and lightbulbs—as non-recurring to artificially inflate its AFFO numbers in a way that misled investors.

The Court further found that under a holistic view of the allegations, the complaint has created a strong inference of scienter – i.e. the intent or knowledge of wrongdoing, at the time of the alleged fraudulent activity.
WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW: Current Equinix shareholders who have held Equinix shares since on or before May 3, 2019, can seek corporate reforms, the return of funds spent defending litigation back to the company, and a court approved incentive award, at no cost to them whatsoever.
