Published on 10/06/2026 at 11:49 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Digital Realty (ISIN US2538681030) was trading at EUR 160.65 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026 at 11:40 a.m. CEST, while HSBC cut its price target from USD 240.00 to USD 235.00 on September 23, 2026, according to MarketBeat. The brokerage kept a buy rating, making the lower target the clearest recent analyst signal for the data center REIT.
HSBC trims target to USD 235.00
The target reduction leaves HSBC's new figure below its previous USD 240.00 objective, but the rating stayed at buy. MarketBeat also reported an average analyst target of USD 219.69 and a Moderate Buy consensus, giving the stock a valuation reference separate from the Lang & Schwarz euro quote.
Revenue grows while earnings miss
Digital Realty reported USD 1.92 billion of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, a 28.90 percent increase from the same quarter a year earlier, according to MarketBeat. The comparison is mixed: earnings per share came to USD 1.21 against USD 1.98 consensus, a USD 0.77 shortfall, even as revenue exceeded the USD 1.66 billion estimate.
The company maintained fiscal 2026 earnings-per-share guidance of USD 8.15 to USD 8.20. That combination of double-digit revenue growth and an earnings miss explains why the target revision matters more than the modest same-day euro price change.
Infrastructure plans add a longer runway
Digital Realty and Assured Communications are developing a cable landing station at the LAX12 data center in Los Angeles. MarketScreener reported on September 22, 2026 that the project is expected to begin supporting cables in 2028, linking subsea infrastructure with the company's Los Angeles connectivity network.
The operating scale is substantial. Digital Realty's platform includes more than 300 data centers in 55-plus metros and serves more than 5,000 customers, according to the company website, while the latest finance data put its market capitalization at USD 66.5 billion as of October 5, 2026.
