Next quarterly earnings report • 2026-04-30

Expected move: +4%

Biggest risk

Bear: weaker leasing, oversupply in select metros, or a higher-interest-rate shock compresses valuations toward the low analyst view and pressures FFO multiples.

Invalidation

Break below $155 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

Bull: sustained hyperscaler bookings, improved pricing and margin expansion lead to a meaningful re-rate; upside captured by the bull target which aligns with the high analyst view.

Commentary

Consensus analyst median (~$191.86) sits meaningfully above the current price (anchor $163.21), implying upside under the base and bull scenarios. Near-term sentiment is watchful and may be volatile around the next earnings release as investors parse leasing, pricing and guidance. Macro and interest-rate headlines remain the primary downside driver and can quickly reprice DLR despite constructive longer-term hyperscale demand narratives [#SERP-2][#SERP-5][#SERP-6]. Given the scenario probabilities (20/60/20) and the upside skew, the market tone supports a constructive 12-month view while acknowledging material rate and leasing risks.
