Equinix, Inc. Overview

Pro stress-test →

Equinix is the world's digital infrastructure company, enabling digital leaders to harness a trusted platform to bring together and interconnect the foundational infrastructure that powers their success. The company operates a vast network of 260 data centers globally, serving over 10,000 customers across diverse sectors.

Strategic Profile

Pro stress-test →

Equinix has forecasted its revenue for fiscal year 2026 to range between $10.12 billion and $10.22 billion, surpassing the market consensus of $10.09 billion. EQIX is being rewarded for its high-margin retail colocation model which is more resistant to power bottlenecks currently plaguing massive centralized builds.
