Data center firm Equinix raised its forecast for annual results on Wednesday, signaling steady demand from its enterprise customers investing in AI solutions.

Equinix provides organizations with secure, resilient and power-efficient environments to house their IT equipment within its data centers, while offering shared infrastructure and connectivity solutions.


The company now expects annual revenue to be between $9.23 billion and $9.33 billion, compared with prior projection of $9.18 billion to $9.28 billion.


It now expects annual per-share funds from operations, a key measure of cash flow, to be in the range of $37.67 to $38.48 per share, compared with previous forecast of $37.36 to $38.17.


In the second quarter ended June 30, the company's revenue rose 4.6% to $2.26 billion, in line with estimates, according to data compiled by LSEG.
