Did EQIX Beat Earnings? Q2 2026 Results

Equinix posted a convincing beat across both top and bottom lines in Q2 2026, with revenue climbing 16.4% year over year to $2.63 billion against a consensus estimate of $2.58 billion, while diluted EPS of $4.83 edged past the $4.79 estimate by 0.73%. The standout driver was a powerful combination of record commercial momentum and accelerating AI-related demand, with annualized gross bookings of $424.00 million growing 23% year over year and a record 9,700 net interconnections added in the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA reached $1.40 billion at a 53% margin, up 24% year over year, as the company expanded capacity with 52 projects now underway across 33 markets. Institutional interest has been building alongside the results, with major investors adding meaningful positions in recent months. Looking ahead, Equinix raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $10.21 billion to $10.29 billion, representing 11% to 12% growth, and lifted its longer-term annual revenue growth outlook to 10% to 13% through 2029, citing stronger-than-expected demand and firmer pricing.

Key Takeaways
  • Monthly recurring revenue grew 11% YoY on both as-reported and normalized constant currency basis
  • Annualized gross bookings of $424 million grew 23% YoY, the second-highest volume on record
  • Record 9,700 net interconnections added in the quarter
