EQIXEquinix
Is it safe?
Nothing alarming, nothing pristine: insiders quiet, comfortable debt (BBB), and typical volatility.
Insiders were net sellers (-$4.9M, 90 days to Oct 8, 2026), selling is often routine.
Investment-grade balance sheet. A rule of thumb on leverage, not a credit rating.
Moderate price swings, typical volatility. Worst drawdown -42% · now 8% below its 52-week high.
