Equinix Files to Sell $700M of Common Stock
EQIX sits 42% above its 52-week low of $720.62.
Summary
Equinix filed to offer $700 million of common stock, per an SEC filing dated today. The amount lines up with the $700,002,718 of unsold capacity it re-registered this evening under its at-the-market equity program, so this is the activation of existing shelf capacity rather than a surprise new raise. Against a roughly $99 billion market cap the dilution is modest, but it lands the same evening as the Q3 beat and guidance raise, and equity issuance at $1,023.82 a share is a headwind for a stock that just ran on strong results. Watch the 424B prospectus supplement for pricing terms and the actual share count sold.
At the time of this announcement, EQIX was trading at $1,023.82 on NASDAQ in the Real Estate & Construction sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $99.4B.
