Price History

The shaded fan is where this price has historically travelled over the months after a close like today’s. It is not a forecast: it has no view on direction, only on distance.

$566.44$790.16$1,014$1,238
2021-102026-09 · $1,021

Over 3 months from Sep 2026, roughly two-thirds of past moves landed between $908.8 and $1,148; nine in ten between $842.88 and $1,238.

Tested against this asset’s own history: across 299 past 3-month windows, the price actually landed inside the two-thirds band 68% of the time. The gap from 68% is the model’s error — real returns have fatter tails than the maths assumes, so the band gets breached more often than it claims.

Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $45,559 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +1037.4%.

Lump sum instead — $31,400 all at once in Aug 2000: $61,911 (+97.2%) — DCA came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Apr 2026): $585.71 on $600 invested (-2.4%).

⚠ Price returns only — dividends are not included. This understates the true return of dividend-paying shares, and any comparison against crypto (which pays no dividends) is biased against equities by roughly the dividend yield, compounded.

About Equinix

Equinix Inc., is an American multinational internet and data center company headquartered in Redwood City, California. It specialized in internet connectivity and data center colocation centers, commonly known as carrier hotels, until the company converted to a real estate investment trust (REIT) in January 2015. It is listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ticker symbol EQIX. As of 2025, the company operates 260 data centers in 33 countries, across five continents and employed more than 13,000 people worldwide. (Wikipedia)

It's a listed company categorised under real estate and data center reits, with a market cap of about $100.8B.

It rates High Risk at 2.8/5, meaning several rated factors score badly, so this carries materially more risk than a typical holding.

What pushes the score up: earnings quality (5.0/5) and market / volatility (3.7/5).

Scoring well: liquidity at 1.0/5.

Not yet researched: concentration, governance. These are excluded from the score rather than guessed, so the real risk may be higher than what’s shown.

Ratings summarise sourced facts against fixed rules — not investment advice, and no substitute for your own diligence.
