Sign InReflecting the surging demand for AI infrastructure, Digital Realty stock jumped 14.31% following the release of robust second-quarter 2026 financial results. Core FFO and revenue significantly exceeded analyst estimates, with FFO hitting $2.65 per share against the $1.98 expected, while revenue reached $1.9 billion. Consequently, management raised its full-year 2026 guidance for core FFO and adjusted EBITDA, signaling confidence in sustained growth.
The performance underscores high operating efficiency, with EBITDA margins exceeding 60% despite heavy capital expenditure on data center development. Per market data, the stock experienced a significant re-rating, pushing from the $176-$179 range early in the week toward a close near $198.38 following the news. Financial metrics show disciplined leverage with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.85, supporting the company's capital-intensive expansion strategy in the data center sector.
At the close of July 21, 2026, DLR was priced at $179.31, having reached a day high of $180.03. Investors are watching for technical support near the $184 level for potential entries on pullbacks, while resistance is anticipated between $205 and $210. Looking ahead, market participants will monitor global catalysts including Japan's Trade Balance and Indonesia's interest rate decision scheduled for July 22, which may influence broader sector sentiment.
