Digital Realty (ISIN US2538681030) was trading at EUR 157.90 at Lang & Schwarz on October 9, 2026 at 4:31 p.m. CEST. The company had announced on October 7 that construction had started on KIX15, a 24 megawatt data center in Osaka, Japan, according to GlobeNewswire. The project adds a concrete capacity figure to Digital Realty's AI infrastructure expansion in Japan.

Three dated moves shape the story

On July 23, 2026, Digital Realty reported second-quarter revenue of USD 1.92 billion, up 28.90 percent year over year, while earnings per share came in at USD 1.21 against USD 1.98 consensus, according to MarketBeat. On October 6, 2026, Digital Realty priced EUR 1 billion of guaranteed notes due 2036 at 99.289 percent of principal, as GlobeNewswire reported. On October 7, 2026, the company announced the KIX15 construction start and its 24 megawatt design.

What does KIX15 add?

KIX15 is planned as the fifth facility at Digital Realty's KIX Campus and is scheduled to begin operations in the fourth quarter of 2028. Upon completion, the Japan portfolio of MC Digital Realty, the company's 50-50 joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation, is expected to reach 10 data centers and approximately 220 megawatts of aggregate IT capacity, according to GlobeNewswire. The facility is designed for high-density computing with hybrid air- and liquid-cooling technologies, linking the project directly to the infrastructure needs of AI workloads.

The second-quarter numbers show the tension in the investment case. Revenue increased 28.90 percent year over year to USD 1.92 billion, but reported earnings per share of USD 1.21 fell short of the USD 1.98 consensus figure, while fiscal 2026 earnings-per-share guidance stood at USD 8.15 to USD 8.20, according to MarketBeat. For investors, capacity growth and earnings conversion are therefore separate parts of the story.

Two dates now matter

Closing of the EUR 1 billion notes offering was expected on October 9, 2026, subject to customary conditions, according to GlobeNewswire. Digital Realty's next earnings date is October 29, 2026, according to Makkler.
