Equinix, Inc. ($EQIX) reported its fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 results, revealing an adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $7.92 and revenue of $2.26 billion, despite a net loss of $14 million attributed to $233 million in asset impairment charges. The company noted record bookings and revenue growth, with CEO Adaire Fox-Martin highlighting that 87% of its under-construction projects are leased or preleased. However, Equinix has guided for a modest revenue growth of 3-4% for 2025. The earnings call indicated a projected $28 million increase in recurring revenues, driven by the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in business applications, with 50% of top deals in Q4 linked to AI workloads. The company’s EBITDA of $3.4 billion matched its capital expenditures, raising concerns about its economic profitability as it continues to finance interest and dividend payments externally.
cloud is still king ex AI data center demand set to double by 2030 - AI is additive to an already steep demand growth story connectivity and storage also on the same trajectory allocate accordingly https://t.co/eJknE1yxTV
For obsolete data center company $EQIX, this is the second year in a row where EBITDA ($3.4B) only equaled capex ($3.4B). The Company continues to finance externally their interest and dividend payments. It is not really earning any economic profits, in my opinion. https://t.co/DrQe3q4Aq9
Equinix had a record quarter as it celebrated its best-ever frame for bookings against a “very hot” demand environment that has 87 percent of its under-construction projects leased or preleased, CEO Adaire Fox-Martin said on @Equinix’s Q4 earnings call. https://t.co/YUbdDt9UgS
