SGA - U.S. Large Cap Growth Tucker Brown | “A position in Equinix, a leading global data center provider, was initiated during the quarter. The company sells space, power, and connectivity services across a global footprint, binding strategic clients to its facilities through interconnection and co-placement for low-latency and high-bandwidth services. Equinix is a familiar name for SGA, having been a portfolio holding for ten years before being sold in 2024 as the growth rate had slowed and management was in the midst of a leadership transition. Both dynamics have since reversed, with growth re-accelerating as AI inferencing ramps and power demand remains high, and with new leaders now announced and in place. Approximately 95% of revenue is recurring and supported by contracts that typically span two to five years, while customer churn has historically remained low, reflecting the critical nature of its services. Once customers establish connections within Equinix's ecosystem, the cost and risk of migrating elsewhere can be significant, strengthening retention and creating a durable revenue base. Equinix's pricing power stems from the unique network effects embedded in its platform. The company's ability to connect customers with hundreds of networks and business partners reduces latency, lowers traffic transit costs, and creates increasingly valuable digital ecosystems. As these ecosystems expand, customers derive greater utility from remaining on the platform, enabling Equinix to command premium pricing and sustain attractive returns on new investments. Recent operating trends reinforce this view, with management highlighting strong bookings, healthy interconnection growth, record-low churn, and robust demand across geographies. The company's growth opportunity is supported by several secular tailwinds, including the expansion of AI workloads, increasing enterprise connectivity requirements, growing digital ecosystems, and continued customer expansion across regions. Management has noted that demand continues to outpace supply, while interconnection services remain one of the fastest-growing parts of the business. We believe Equinix is particularly well positioned to benefit from increasingly distributed and connectivity-intensive AI applications given its globally interconnected footprint and neutral platform.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Jul 30, 2026 | View Pitch |

The Heptagon Future Trends Fund Portfolio Manager | “Equinix has built an unparalleled global footprint of data centers through substantial capital investment, addressing a rapidly growing 250 billion dollar market.

Davis Real Estate Fund Andrew A. Davis | “The demand for data center space is as great as it has ever been. In the meantime, two of our holdings, Digital Realty and Equinix, stand to benefit from leasing and construction deals signed over the past couple of years. Beyond valuation risks—Digital Realty and Equinix are not cheap—there are other risks related to power availability and transmission. We continue to hold Digital Realty and Equinix at a level roughly in line with our benchmark since the risks outlined above are not likely to impact fundamentals over the near term. In fact, most of the recent leasing each REIT has done is with investment-grade companies. We consider those money-good deals. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3} BSD Analysis: Equinix has reached a major growth inflection point, recently raising its 2026 revenue guidance as the surge in generative AI drives unprecedented demand for its global data center platform. The company is seeing a massive shift in its booking mix, with over sixty percent of new deals now targeted toward AI workloads, half of which are coming from traditional enterprise customers rather than cloud providers. Equinix's massive footprint and carrier-neutral model provide a critical competitive advantage, allowing it to act as the primary interconnection hub for the modern digital economy. Management has significantly increased its guidance for adjusted funds from operations, reflecting a faster-than-expected monetization of its AI infrastructure investments. As corporations continue to distribute their AI and cloud networking, Equinix's role as the "connective tissue" of the internet ensures durable, high-margin growth.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
Macquarie Large Cap Growth Fund Delaware Management Company (now part of Nomura Asset Management) | “Equinix Inc., a data center operator, was eliminated from the portfolio. The company has unique assets in urban areas critical for reducing latency, especially as AI applications become more prevalent. However, as new locations open in second- and third-tier cities, Equinix has not been able to monetize these assets as we had expected. We believe there will be a better opportunity to own the stock in the future. BSD Analysis: Equinix remains the global interconnection giant, a mission-critical platform for cloud on-ramps, AI architectures, and enterprise hybrid workloads. Pricing power is strong, churn is low, and the REIT model generates predictable, high-quality cash flow. AI-driven data-center demand is only beginning to show up in bookings. EQIX isn't cheap, but its competitive moat is enormous and widening. For digital infrastructure exposure, Equinix is as good as it gets.” | BEAR | Q3 2025 Sep 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
