Equinix stock: Q3 momentum lifts 2026 outlook again

Equinix reported stronger third-quarter operations on October 28, 2026, and raised its full-year outlook for the third consecutive quarter. The company said revenue increased 11 percent year over year to USD 2.571 billion, while operating income rose 27 percent to USD 600 million.

Bookings support a higher outlook

The company said annualized gross bookings reached a record USD 533 million, an increase of 35 percent from the prior-year quarter. Equinix also added 6,900 net interconnections and expects to deliver nearly 40 percent more cabinets in 2026 than initially anticipated.

Adjusted EBITDA rose 15 percent to USD 1.321 billion, with a 51 percent margin. Reported net income attributable to common stockholders included a non-recurring fee related to the atNorth joint venture, so the 31 percent increase to USD 489 million should not be read as a pure measure of underlying operating growth.

Full-year targets move up

Equinix now expects 2026 revenue of USD 10.325 billion to USD 10.365 billion, compared with the previous range of USD 10.205 billion to USD 10.285 billion. Adjusted EBITDA guidance increased to USD 5.290 billion to USD 5.330 billion, while fourth-quarter revenue is expected at USD 2.684 billion to USD 2.724 billion. The company also highlighted Fabric One and Equinix Inference Exchange as newer products supporting its connectivity and AI offering. The figures and outlook come from the company's third-quarter results release.
