Digital Realty Earnings: Weaker Leasing, but Stellar Pricing and Connectivity Shift in Full Force

Matthew Dolgin Equity Analyst

Analyst Note

| Matthew Dolgin |

Digital Realty had a good first quarter. Overall leasing was down, but leasing is often choppy, so we wouldn’t overemphasize a single quarter’s result. More important to us, pricing was the strongest in years, and Digital’s smaller co-location and interconnectivity deployments are currently the strongest parts of its business. We think those co-location and interconnection leases are more profitable and contribute to a data center's competitive advantages, supporting our rationale for a positive network effect moat trend rating for this narrow-moat firm. We are raising our fair value estimate to $135 per share from $133 and believe the current stock price provides a good entry point.

Company Profile DLR

Business Description

Digital Realty owns and operates over 300 data centers worldwide. It has nearly 40 million rentable square feet across five continents. Digital's offerings range from retail co-location, where an enterprise may rent a single cabinet and rely on Digital to provide all the accommodations, to "cold shells," where hyperscale cloud service providers can simply rent much, or all, of a barren, power-connected building. In recent years, Digital Realty has de-emphasized cold shells and now primarily provides higher-level service to tenants, which outsource their related IT needs to Digital. Digital Realty has also moved more into the co-location business, increasingly serving enterprises and facilitating network and cloud connections. Digital Realty operates as a real estate investment trust.
