The Bullish Case: Anyone invested in the stock market right now should know the value of having stable equities in your portfolio. Equinix provided just that and although the REIT industry took a larger than normal hit during COVID-19, the recovery was swift and Equinix is positioned well to be a bedrock stock moving forward. Equinix has holdings of more than 200 data centers throughout 25 different countries across five continents, so it is not tied to the specific economy of any one region. Data centers are one of the fastest growing streams of the big tech industry and as we move towards a world with 5G, autonomous vehicles, machine learning, and the Internet of Things, we are going to require larger places to store all of the data. As traditional real estate and retail REITs wane in popularity, big data is in the first inning of the game so suffice to say, Equinix’s holdings will be relevant for years to come. Equinix pays a 1.62% dividend yield which equates to roughly $11.48 per share annually.
