Equinix reported Q2 revenue of $2.0 billion, up 11% over the same quarter last year or 14% on a normalized and constant currency basis. Net income was $207 million, a 4% decrease from the same quarter last year, primarily due to lower income from operations and higher income tax expense given a favorable tax settlement in 2022.
“We continue to see momentum in our business as digital transformation accelerates the pace of innovation and changes the way business is done. By 2026, IDC is forecasting that 40% of revenue from G2000 companies will come from digital products, services and experiences, a dynamic that is reshaping the basis of competition in nearly every industry, and making digital an unprecedented force for economic growth,” stated Charles Meyers, President and CEO, Equinix.
