What are Wall Street analysts saying about Equinix stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Equinix stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Equinix recently reported better than expected first-quarter 2018 results, primarily driven by robust top-line growth and strong operating performance. Further, in April 2018, the company completed the acquisition of Infomart Dallas in Latin America and Metronode in Australia. Notably, Equinix has been witnessing strong year-over-year revenue growth for the past several quarters, mainly driven by high demand for its cloud services by corporations. Additionally, the company’s recurring revenue model and current expansion plans are encouraging. In April 2017, it announced a billion-dollar aggressive expansion plan, which includes unveiling data centers, acquisitions and expansion of existing facilities. Nonetheless, we are concerned about the company’s growing debt burden, which will adversely affect the operating results as interest expenses would go up. Also, shares of Equinix have underperformed the industry in the past three months." (5/8/2018)
- 2. Credit Suisse Group AG analysts commented, "We met with EQIX executives Keith Taylor (CFO) and Lance Weaver (VP of Platform Strategy and Emerging Services) at the EQIX headquarters in Redwood City, CA." (2/25/2018)
- 3. Barclays PLC analysts commented, "The Beach Boys wished they all could be California girls," and we wish that all BDCs could report steady and strong results like Santa Monica-based TCPC. Second- quarter 2017 was another strong quarter, such that TCPC easily covered its $0.36 per share regular dividend—just like the 20 quarters that preceded it. The company reported core net investment income of $0.43 per share versus our $0.39 estimate. While the quarter benefited from unusually strong prepayment fees, there are some of these virtually every quarter. TCPC trades at a premium to other BDCs at 110% of NAV vs. the group average of 95%, and with an 8.7% yield vs. an average of 9.5%." (8/3/2017)
