Ari Klein has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, primarily the strategic acquisition of atNorth, which significantly expands Equinix’s footprint in the Nordic data center market and aligns with its “build bigger” growth strategy. The transaction adds roughly 800MW of installed and development capacity, enhancing the company’s ability to serve rising demand for large-scale, infrastructure‑intensive workloads.
In addition, Klein notes that the atNorth deal is expected to be immediately accretive to adjusted funds from operations, supported by an attractive valuation multiple and a robust $4.2B financing package. He also highlights the strong improvement in atNorth’s contracted EBITDA over the past four years and the additional fee income Equinix will earn from its joint‑venture structure, all of which support the positive risk‑reward profile for EQIX shares.
In another report released on February 25, Evercore ISI also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $1,060.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 68 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of EQIX in relation to earlier this year.
