The latest information surrounding real estate investment trust, Equinix (EQIX), reveals mixed sentiments. On one hand, it is performing well due to the growth in artificial intelligence demand, a factor that has accelerated the S&P 500 REIT xScale Portfolio above $8 billion. This has affirmed Equinix's position as a solid pick for portfolio investors, especially with its streak of consistent growth. Additionally, its successful foray into data centers, as well as its recent joint venture with PGIM Real Estate shows promise.
Despite the positive news, Equinix has also been embroiled in controversy after coming under scrutiny by activist investor, Hindenburg, leading to a slump in the company's stocks. The company has also been charged with accusations by Hindenburg Research for allegedly manipulating metrics to hike executive compensations. Complications ensued after Johnson Fistel initiated a class action investigation on behalf of the company's shareholders. Furthermore, the Baron Real Estate Fund confirmed selling Equinix based on its share appreciation, indicating potential concerns over its valuation.
