# Equinix drops after Q1 results disappoint and boost to full-year sales guidance falls short of expectations

Equinix is falling in early trading after reporting underwhelming Q1 results.

Revenue of $2.44 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $1.25 billion came in modestly below expectations, and the data center REIT’s full-year guidance wasn’t as sunny as analysts had anticipated.

Management cited strong demand from AI and cloud workloads, record bookings, and a growing backlog in raising its full-year outlook for sales to between $10.14 billion and $10.24 billion. However, the midpoint of that range still falls a little short of Wall Street’s $10.22 billion estimate.

The data center REIT had surged about 42% year to date going into earnings, making it the top performer in the S&P 500 REIT industry group. After outperforming peers by more than 30% in 2026, it seems investors had little appetite to forgive any missteps.
