Growth outlook moves higher

According to MarketBeat on September 30, 2026, Equinix raised its outlook for top-line and bottom-line growth by 3 percentage points. Chief Financial Officer Olivier Leonetti linked the change to demand for AI inference, cloud connectivity and interconnection services.

The same report said Equinix expects agentic AI to represent 50.00 percent of AI demand within three years and 30.00 percent to 40.00 percent of data center activity. That forecast gives the growth upgrade a specific operational driver rather than leaving it as a broad technology theme.

Revenue growth meets capacity spending

Equinix reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 2.63 billion, up 16.00 percent year over year, according to MarketScreener. The quarter also included 9,700 net interconnections, a record figure that shows how demand is translating into network activity.
