New CFO Appointed + 9-10% Revenue Growth Forecast → 10% Quarterly Dividend Increase Planned

Equinix appointed veteran finance executive Olivier Leonetti as CFO effective March 16, 2026, bringing fresh leadership to its financial strategy amid expanding global data center operations. The company forecasts 9-10% revenue growth for 2026, a 200 basis point improvement in EBITDA margin, and a 10% increase in its quarterly dividend, driven by AI and hybrid cloud demand for colocation services. The stock trades around $974 with a debt-to-equity ratio of 160.29%, and 24 analysts rate it Buy, though high leverage and capital-intensive expansion present ongoing financial risks for the REIT-structured company.
