Equinix Inc. (ISIN US29444U7000) was trading at EUR 917.20 at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026 at 3:41 p.m. CEST, up 1.87 percent versus the prior close of EUR 900.40. The latest company move is a leadership appointment: PR Newswire reported on September 10, 2026 that Equinix appointed DD Dasgupta as chief marketing officer.

Marketing role follows AI expansion

Dasgupta has more than 25 years of digital infrastructure experience and had led Equinix customer-focused solutions since 2024, the company said in the release linked by PR Newswire. He reports to Chief Customer and Revenue Officer Shane Paladin, placing the new role close to the commercial organization.

The appointment follows Equinix's September 2, 2026 announcement of Inference Exchange with NVIDIA and Together AI. According to Equinix, the service supports more than 200 open-source models and is scheduled to become available in the first quarter of 2027.

Second-quarter growth sets the base

Equinix reported USD 2.625 billion of revenue for the second quarter of 2026, up 16.00 percent from the same quarter of 2025, while GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders reached USD 479 million, up 30.00 percent year over year. The company also reported diluted GAAP earnings per share of USD 4.83, up 29.00 percent, and adjusted funds from operations per share of USD 11.78, up 19.00 percent.

The figures came with higher full-year expectations. In its July 29, 2026 release, Equinix set 2026 revenue guidance at USD 10.205 billion to USD 10.285 billion and forecast adjusted EBITDA of USD 5.210 billion to USD 5.270 billion. That combination makes execution on capacity, interconnection demand and AI infrastructure the key operating test for the second half.

Results date is October 28

Equinix has scheduled its third-quarter 2026 results call for October 28, 2026, covering the period ended September 30, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance. The next report will test whether the 16.00 percent second-quarter revenue increase and the 23.00 percent rise in annualized gross bookings are carrying into the next period.
