Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Equinix stock:

• 1. 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)
• 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Equinix is a global provider of network-neutral data centers and Internet exchange services for enterprises, content companies, systems integrators and network service providers. Acquisitions have been a major growth driver for Equinix and helped it to expand data center capacity in many of its key markets. Moreover, expansion in important markets and consolidation of facilities in existing ones have been important parts of Equinix's core strategy. We believe that the company’s focus on offering upgraded technology to attract clients will bolster its revenues and profitability in the near-term. Notably, shares of Equinix has outperformed the broader market over the past one-year. Nonetheless, we are concerned about the company’s growing debt burden, which will adversely affect the operating results as interest expense would go up. Additionally, intensifying competition and industry consolidation remain other near-term headwinds." (5/2/2017)
