Equinix Inc. (ISIN US29444U7000) was trading at EUR 913.40 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 5:10 p.m. CEST, minus 0.39 percent versus the prior close of EUR 917.00. According to MarketBeat, Weiss Ratings downgraded Equinix from Buy to Hold on October 2, 2026.
Downgrade meets strong quarterly growth
The rating change contrasts with Equinix's latest operating figures. Yahoo Finance reports that revenue reached USD 2.63 billion in the second quarter of 2026, up 16.00 percent from the same quarter of 2025.
The same report puts net income attributable to common stockholders at USD 479.00 million for the second quarter, an increase of 30.00 percent year over year. Adjusted funds from operations reached USD 11.78 per share, up 19.00 percent from the prior-year quarter, while annualized gross bookings rose 23.00 percent to USD 423.00 million.
Guidance keeps the growth case visible
Management raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to USD 10.205 billion to USD 10.285 billion, a range that implies growth of 11.00 percent to 12.00 percent. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization guidance stands at USD 5.210 billion to USD 5.270 billion, while the adjusted funds from operations per share growth target is 10.00 percent to 12.00 percent, according to Yahoo Finance.
MarketBeat lists 28 analyst ratings, including 21 Buy ratings, 2 Strong Buy ratings and 5 Hold ratings. Its average twelve-month target is USD 1,206.96, compared with the USD 1,025.72 Nasdaq reference price shown for October 2, 2026, a quantified gap that leaves the analyst consensus more constructive than the latest Weiss action.
