On July 30, Equinix rose 4.17% in pre-market trading, trading at $1050.0/share, with turnover of $63,300. The rebound follows the company's Q2 earnings release after the prior session's close, which delivered a comprehensive beat on key metrics.

Equinix reported Q2 adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) of $11.78 per diluted share, surpassing the FactSet consensus estimate of $11.35 by approximately 3.8% and representing an 18.87% year-over-year increase from $9.91. Revenue came in at $2.625 billion, above the expected $2.579 billion. The company simultaneously raised its full-year guidance, now expecting AFFO of $42.69 to $43.29 per share on revenue of $10.205 billion to $10.285 billion, up from the prior range of $42.31 to $43.11 on revenue of $10.144 billion to $10.244 billion.

Prior to the earnings release, data center REITs had faced two consecutive sessions of broad sector pressure, with Equinix pulling back from approximately $1050 to near $1002. The earnings beat effectively alleviated market concerns regarding sector growth deceleration, driving a recovery in after-hours and pre-market sessions.
