# Weekly Recap | Equinix +1.75%, most brokers rate it buy

## The Week

Equinix (EQIX) added 1.75% this week to close at $1,025.72, while the S&P 500 fell 0.27%, an outperformance of about 2.02 percentage points. The stock traded with a downward drift before turning higher into Friday: it opened Monday at $1,008.86, slipped to an intraday low of $1,000.04 on Wednesday, then bottomed out around $994.50 on Thursday before rebounding. Friday’s session pushed as high as $1,036.52 and closed near the top of the range. Weekly amplitude was 4.17% on average daily volume of 474,775 shares, roughly 8.33% below the median — a relatively quiet tape.

## Key Events

The week’s data-centre narrative centred on AI and interconnection demand. On 30 September, reports highlighted that Equinix sees AI and interconnection demand accelerating growth, with major expansion planned through 2029; the company reiterated that view on 1 October. In the broader supply chain, Schneider Electric unveiled a fully software-defined medium-voltage switchgear, signalling faster iteration of data-centre electrical infrastructure. After the close on 1 October, Equinix set its third-quarter results conference call for 28 October, shifting attention toward the upcoming earnings window.

## Analyst Ratings

A total of 34 brokers cover Equinix: 23 rate it buy, 5 rate it overweight, and 6 rate it hold, with no underweight or sell ratings. The consensus rating is buy, with a consensus target of $1,234.19, about 20.32% above the latest price. Individual targets range from $1,060 to $1,380, suggesting relatively limited dispersion. Within the REITs sector, Equinix ranks first out of 150 names, and its 34 covering analysts are well above the industry median of 11.

## The Week Ahead

The macro calendar is busy next week: the US S&P Global services PMI final and ISM non-manufacturing PMI land on 5 October, trade balance data on 6 October, and EIA crude inventories on 7 October. These will mostly shape rate expectations and risk appetite. The more direct catalyst for Equinix comes later in the month: third-quarter fiscal 2026 results are due after the close on 28 October, with consensus estimates around $4.14 in EPS and $2.568 billion in revenue.

## In Short

Equinix pushed higher against a modest S&P 500 pullback, reclaiming the $1,025 area, but still sits just below both its 20-day moving average at $1,026.20 and its 60-day at $1,041.08 — the rebound has not yet repaired the trend. Brokers are uniformly constructive, with a consensus buy and a target about 20% above spot; on the latest trading day, large-lot money was a net seller while small and medium orders were net buyers, so the flow picture is mixed. The key test is whether third-quarter results at month-end can support the current valuation and expectations.
