Earnings Call Q3 2026
October 29, 2026 - AI Summary
Blowout quarter led by leasing + margin/earnings beat; guidance raised
- Core FFO was $2.10/share, +11% YoY (better than expected per management).
- Management states upside to revenues, adjusted EBITDA and core FFO driven by strong execution and records across leasing categories.
- 2026 core FFO/share guidance raised by ~2% to $8.30–$8.35 (midpoint implies ~13% growth vs. 2025).
- Cash NOI growth guidance reiterated/improved to 5.25%–5.75% (constant currency).
- No dividend/buyback details were mentioned in the provided transcript segment.
Records across platform leasing; strong backlog adds visibility
- Total leasing: $855M bookings ($627M at Digital Realty share), record quarter; stated +20% vs. prior record.
- Total backlog: new record $2.5B ($1.8B at share), with booked-not-billed backlog at ~40% of in-place rental revenue → visibility through next year and into 2028.
- 0–1 MW + interconnection: $165M bookings ($151.8M at share), +40% vs. prior quarter record and +40% QoQ / +80% YoY (per CEO summary).
- >1 MW / hyperscale: $689M bookings ($474M at share)—another record; driven by Northern Virginia leases and record APAC signings (Seoul/Chennai/Sydney cited).
- Renewals: $261M renewals at 11.8% blended cash re-leasing spread; churn hit a record low of 0.7% and stabilized occupancy rose ~90 bps sequentially to 93.4%.
AI is shifting demand from “training” to broader inference + distributed architectures; edge/network value
- CEO emphasizes AI adoption creating demand not only for large training capacity but for inference, connectivity-rich environments, agentic AI and sovereign AI.
- Interconnection category continues to scale: interconnection bookings were $23.9M ($22.2M at share), ~+8% vs. prior record.
- Management claims AI inference-related deployments span 15+ markets and that sold-but-not-yet-delivered backlog in the liquid-cooling / AI-ready category effectively doubles customer/location counts toward ~1 GW of delivered/operational expertise.
- Opportunity framing: Digital Realty positions itself as global, connectivity + capacity + “AI-ready” infrastructure rather than just raw MW supply.
