Digital Realty (ISIN US2538681030) was trading at EUR 159.68 at Lang & Schwarz on October 12, 2026 at 11:06 a.m. CEST as the company advanced a 24 MW data center build in Japan. FinanzNachrichten reported on October 7, 2026 that construction of KIX15 had started and that operations are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2028. The project is the latest expansion signal for Digital Realty stock.

Three dated signals shape the story

On September 21, 2026, Investing.com reported that Rothschild Redburn began coverage with a Buy rating and a USD 227.00 price target. On October 6, 2026, Digital Realty announced the closing of CHF 510.00 million in Swiss bonds in its official release. The October 7 KIX15 announcement then added a concrete 24 MW development milestone.

KIX15 will be the fifth data center at the Osaka campus. The company said the Japan portfolio would reach 10 data centers and 220 MW of aggregate IT capacity once the facility is completed.

What does KIX15 mean for growth?

The answer is capacity aimed at high-density computing. The KIX15 release describes support for hybrid air and liquid cooling, while the wider platform connects customers across more than 300 data centers in 55 metros, according to Digital Realty's release.

That expansion comes against a mixed recent financial picture. Financial Report Insights reported that second-quarter 2026 revenue rose 28.90 percent year over year to USD 1.92 billion, helped by a USD 201.00 million one-time promote fee. GAAP net income available to common stockholders fell 56.60 percent to USD 443.10 million because the year-earlier quarter included a USD 931.80 million property-sale gain.

Core funds from operations per share excluding the promote increased 13.90 percent year over year to USD 2.13 in the second quarter of 2026. That comparison is more useful for a real estate investment trust than GAAP earnings alone because property-sale gains and depreciation can make reported profit volatile.

When is the next results date?

Digital Realty said on October 1, 2026 that it will release third-quarter 2026 results after the market closes on October 29, 2026. The company also scheduled its conference call for 5:00 p.m. ET that day. KIX15 is scheduled for operations in the fourth quarter of 2028, giving the current construction announcement a longer-term operating date.

At Lang & Schwarz, Digital Realty stock was trading at EUR 159.68 on October 12, 2026 at 11:06 a.m. CEST. The current euro quotation is presented without a percentage comparison because the dated Xetra reference close is not part of the substantiated quote record.
