Equinix Rides AI Wave to
Record-Breaking Quarter
The global
data center operator saw revenues climb 7% year-over-year (YoY) to $2.16
billion, slightly exceeding analyst expectations. Net income jumped 45% to $301
million, while adjusted EBITDA surpassed $1 billion for the first time,

provision of critical infrastructure and connectivity services.

"Our
strong performance reinforces our belief that we are uniquely positioned to
support our customers and partners in their business transformation agendas,” Equinix
CEO Adaire Fox-Martin stated, highlighting the company's record gross bookings
for the quarter. Fox-Martin's appointment as president was announced in March when the current CEO, Charles Meyers, transitioned to the role of Executive Chairman.
The
company's interconnection business also showed strong growth, with revenues up
8% YoY and the addition of 3,900 new interconnections in Q2. Equinix now hosts
over 472,000 interconnections on its global platform.
Looking
ahead, Equinix raised its full-year 2024 guidance. The company now expects
revenues between $8.692 billion and $8.772 billion, representing 6-7% growth
over 2023. Adjusted EBITDA is projected to range from $4.066 billion to $4.126
billion, with an AFFO per share forecast of $34.67 to $35.30.

A few months back, Equinix announced the appointment of Merrie Williamson as the Chief Customer and Revenue Officer (CCRO). Williamson, who brings extensive experience from her tenure at major tech firms such as Microsoft and Intel, is well-versed in revenue enhancement strategies. Her leadership role at these companies, spanning more than twenty years, equipped her with a deep understanding of the tech industry, which she now brings to her new position at Equinix.
The AI Push
The company
is aggressively expanding its global footprint to meet growing AI demand, with
54 major projects currently underway across 36 markets in 24 countries. This
includes 15 xScale projects aimed at hyperscale customers, which are seeing
increased interest due to AI and cloud initiatives.
“As a key
enabler of AI and cloud innovations on a global scale, we are excited about the
opportunities that lie ahead.”
Equinix
recently announced plans to enter the Philippines market through a $180 million
acquisition of three data centers, furthering its push into the fast-growing
Southeast Asian region. The deal is expected to close in Q4 2024.
The
company's xScale portfolio, which caters to hyperscale infrastructure needs, is
experiencing substantial demand growth. Equinix leased an additional 17
megawatts of capacity in Silicon Valley and Paris since its last earnings call,
bringing total xScale leasing to 365 megawatts globally.
In a move
to capture larger AI and hyperscale workloads in the US, Equinix acquired a
200-acre land parcel in Atlanta for its first multi-hundred-megawatt xScale
campus in the area.

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
