Equinix, Inc. (EQIX) valuation and DCF model

What the price implies · reverse DCF

At $1,018.08 the price implies FFO a share growing 12.1% a year for ten years.

FFO a share grew 8.8% a year over the last ten years, 8.5% over the last five. The price asks for close to its ten-year rate. The industry’s median company is priced for 4.1%.

In December 2017 the price assumed 12.8% a year; Equinix, Inc. went on to grow FFO a share 8.5% a year to FY2025.

Q3 2026’s FFO a share is the $8.64 Equinix, Inc. reported, in its results release. Ours, from its filings, came out 21.6% higher. It reported AFFO of $11.64 a share for Q3 2026.

The headline discounts the last twelve months’ FFO a share at 9.0% for ten years and grows it 2.5% a year after that, the same for every company, so the figure compares across the market (how a reverse DCF works).

The base case’s inputs, which Powerpack lets you change
1 · FFO a share
the four quarters to September 2026, from the 10-Q and 10-K filings

Yearly growth in FFO a share. It usually slows as the company matures.

Today’s price implies FFO a share growing 12.1% a year for ten years.

2 · Rates

Cost of equity is the yearly return shareholders require, typically 8–11%. Terminal growth is growth forever after year 10, usually near long-run inflation, 2–3%.

3 · Per share

The model is a share’s own: no debt to take off and no shares to divide among.

Every growth rate on this page is the business’s — its cash flow, FFO or dividend — never its share price’s. A discounted-cash-flow model is only as good as its assumptions. Figures from the 10-K and 10-Q filings. Not investment advice.
