Equinix stock gains focus as Singapore SG6 opens for AI demand

Equinix opened its SG6 data center in Singapore on November 6, adding infrastructure aimed at artificial intelligence, high-performance computing and data-intensive workloads. The company described the facility as its sixth International Business Exchange location in the city-state in an Equinix press release.

The first phase represents an initial investment of approximately 290 million US dollars and provides 8 megawatts of capacity across approximately 1,550 cabinets. Full build-out is planned to reach up to 20 megawatts of IT capacity. The expansion gives Equinix more capacity in one of Asia-Pacific's key connectivity markets, but the company has not disclosed SG6-specific customer revenue or utilization figures.

Cooling and connectivity support deployments

SG6 is designed to support high-density AI deployments with proprietary cooling systems and liquid-cooling capabilities for power-intensive GPU infrastructure. Equinix also plans rooftop and facade solar installations, rainwater harvesting and lower-embodied-carbon construction materials. The facility has a design target of 1.20 for power usage effectiveness and is seeking Green Mark Platinum certification.

Chief Executive Officer and President Adaire Fox-Martin said Singapore remains an important market for Equinix and that the new site would expand access to clouds, networks and business partners. Cyrus Adaggra, president of Asia-Pacific, linked the project to rising demand for high-performance digital infrastructure as AI adoption, cloud expansion and data-intensive workloads increase.

Equinix stock traded at 942.30 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 1:18 p.m. CET on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. The quote provides a current trading indication while the SG6 announcement adds a capacity expansion to the company's AI infrastructure narrative.

Next step comes with research facility

Equinix plans to open a Co-Innovation Facility with the National University of Singapore in 2027. The project is intended to focus on liquid cooling, cognitive digital twins and battery energy storage systems, giving the company a further platform to develop data center sustainability and energy-efficiency technologies.

Singapore's digital infrastructure market remains closely tied to regional cloud, network and enterprise demand. Current market developments provide the broader context for infrastructure stocks.
