Fox-Martin says neoclouds are shifting toward inference and enterprise customers, making Equinix a natural partner, while the cohort is under 2% of MRR.

what we're seeing is a transformation with the neos to looking at inference as an opportunity and enterprise as a much broader base of customers for them to execute against. And in those transformations, Equinix is quite a natural partner for them.

Fox-Martin says Singapore is one of Equinix's most important global markets and that continued investment, including SG6, reflects its central role in the digital economy.

Equinix has been investing in Singapore for nearly 25 years, and our new facility will further expand our presence as the neutral exchange where enterprises connect to the clouds, networks and partners they need to innovate and grow. Singapore is one of our most important markets globally, and our continued investment here is a testament to the central role it plays in the digital economy.

Fox-Martin says Equinix demand is strong, broad-based and durable, with no customer above 2.5% of revenue.

She says industry capex is focused elsewhere, leaving colocation capacity short of demand.

From an environment perspective, though, it is fair to say that we are in an exceptionally strong environment and particularly as it relates to colocation because much of the CapEx in our industry is focused elsewhere, there isn't enough capacity to satisfy the demand that we see in the market.

Fox-Martin says Equinix's smaller, diversified builds reduce regulatory and execution risk.

Our new retail builds are sized for these use cases, generally 60 megawatts or less, and they are substantially smaller than the large scale campuses drawing the most regulatory attention. We also don't depend on any single build to meet our growth objectives. We have 48 projects across 32 markets currently in progress.
