The information management and storage REIT reported Q2 2025 revenue of $1.71 billion, up 11.6% year-over-year and ahead of the $1.68 billion consensus, while adjusted EPS of $0.48 missed the $0.50 estimate by 4.23%. The headline earnings gap was overshadowed by the broader story: Iron Mountain's growth businesses, spanning data centers, digital solutions, and asset lifecycle management, collectively expanded more than 30%, powering adjusted EBITDA up 15.4% to $628.39 million with margin expanding 120 basis points to 36.7%. AFFO per share reached $1.24, up 14.8% year-over-year, the metric investors watch most closely for REITs. The strong operational momentum prompted management to raise full-year 2025 guidance, lifting the revenue outlook to $6.79 billion to $6.94 billion and AFFO per share to $5.04 to $5.13, with data center revenue now expected to grow nearly 30% for the full year. Shares gained in pre-market trading following the report.
