(DLR) brings companies and data together by delivering the full spectrum of data center, colocation, and interconnection solutions. With a market cap of $57.8 billion, Digital Realty engages in the ownership, acquisition, repositioning, and management of technology-related real estate. | |
| The real estate giant has lagged behind the border market over the past year. Over the past 52 weeks, DLR stock has gained 16.4%, underperforming the S&P 500 Index’s ($SPX) 21.9% surge. On a YTD basis, DLR is down 3.4% compared to the SPX’s 7.8% returns during the same time frame. | |
| More News from Barchart | |
| Zooming in further, DLR has also lagged behind the iShares U.S. Digital Infrastructure and Real Estate ETF’s (IDGT) 19.1% gains over the past 52 weeks and 4.5% returns on a YTD basis. | |
| www.barchart.com | |
| Digital Realty Trust’s stock prices dipped 1.2% in the trading session following the release of its mixed Q2 results on Jul. 24. The company reported a solid 10.1% year-over-year growth in total operating revenues to $1.5 billion, surpassing the Street’s expectations by a notable 3.5%. Furthermore, its core funds from operations (CFFO) surged 19.5% year-over-year to $643.3 million, and its CFFO per share of $1.87 beat the consensus estimates by 7.5%. However, the company reported a notable drop in backlogs. At the end of the quarter, its backlogs stood at $826 million, down from $919 million reported in Q1 2025, making investors jittery. | |
| For the full fiscal 2025, ending in December, analysts expect DLR to deliver a CFFO per share of $7.20, up 7.3% year-over-year. The company has a solid CFFO surprise history. It has surpassed the Street’s CFFO estimates in each of the past four quarters. | |
| The stock has a consensus “Moderate Buy” rating overall. Of the 28 analysts covering the DLR stock, opinions include 18 “Strong Buys,” two “Moderate Buys,” seven “Holds,” and one “Strong Sell.” | |
| www.barchart.com | |
| This configuration is slightly less optimistic than a month ago, when 19 analysts gave “Strong Buy” recommendations. | |
| On Jul. 30, Truist Securities analyst Anthony Hau maintained a “Buy” rating on DLR and raised the price target from $184 to $199." | |
| Digital Realty Trust (DLR) Q2 FFO and Revenues Top Estimates,Nasdaq,"Jul 24, 2025",https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/digital-realty-trust-dlr-q2-ffo-and-revenues-top-estimates,"Digital Realty Trust (DLR) came out with quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $1.87 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.74 per share. This compares to FFO of $1.65 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. | |
| This quarterly report represents an FFO surprise of +7.47%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this real estate investment trust would post FFO of $1.73 per share when it actually produced FFO of $1.77, delivering a surprise of +2.31%. | |
| Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus FFO estimates three times. | |
| Digital Realty Trust, which belongs to the Zacks REIT and Equity Trust - Other industry, posted revenues of $1.49 billion for the quarter ended June 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.45%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.36 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters. | |
| The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future FFO expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. | |
| Digital Realty Trust shares have added about 1.1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.1%. | |
| What's Next for Digital Realty Trust? | |
| While Digital Realty Trust has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? | |
| There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's FFO outlook. Not only does this include current consensus FFO expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. | |
| Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of estimate revisions. | |
| Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Digital Realty Trust was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. | |
| It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus FFO estimate is $1.77 on $1.5 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $7.04 on $5.88 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year. | |
| Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, REIT and Equity Trust - Other is currently in the bottom 37% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1. | |
| Lamar Advertising (LAMR), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2025. The results are expected to be released on August 8. | |
| This outdoor and transit advertising company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.17 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +4.3%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. | |
| Lamar Advertising's revenues are expected to be $583.28 million, up 3.2% from the year-ago quarter. | |

| Why Digital Realty Trust Stock Gained 16% in March While the Market Plunged,The Motley Fool,"Apr 7, 2020",https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/04/07/why-digital-realty-trust-stock-gained-16-in-march.aspx,"Shares of the data center REIT have been bucking the coronavirus-driven market sell-off. | |
| What happened | |
| Shares of Digital Realty Trust (DLR +0.92%), a data center real estate investment trust (REIT), rose 15.7% (or 16.6% if we include dividends) in March, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. | |
| For context, the S&P 500 index returned negative 12.4% last month. That poor performance was due to a continuation of the coronavirus-driven market sell-off that began in mid-February. | |
| So far this month, through April 6, Digital Realty Trust's return is nearly flat, while the broader market has returned 1.5%. In 2020, shares have returned 17.3%, far outpacing the S&P 500's negative 17.1% return. | |
| So what | |
| Digital Realty Trust made a notable positive announcement last month: that it completed its acquisition of the Netherlands-based InterXion, which brings European co-location and interconnection expertise to the table. Following the March 13 announcement, Digital Realty's shares popped 11.7%. However, the S&P 500 surged 9.3% on this day, so the market's strength was likely the primary catalyst behind the stock's gain. | |
| Like the market, Digital Realty stock seesawed last month. The main reason the tech stock outperformed the market was probably because investors are optimistic that the company won't be negatively affected by the pandemic and could even see an increase in business. This view is based on the fact that most of the U.S. population and much of the world population are living under some form of a lockdown order to help slow the spread of COVID-19. So internet usage is surging, as people do things like stream more movies and communicate virtually with colleagues. | |
| Now what | |
| For the first quarter of 2020, Wall Street is expecting Digital Realty Trust to post adjusted earnings per share of $0.28 on revenue of $779.5 million. This represents year-over-year declines of 39% and nearly 3%, respectively. | |
| Analysts' longer-term view is more positive. The consensus estimate is for EPS growth averaging 16.7% over the next five years." | |

| Factors Behind DLR Stock’s Price Surge: Will This Continue? | |
| With the growth of cloud computing, the Internet of Things and Big Data and an increasing number of companies opting for third-party IT infrastructure, data center REITs like Digital Realty are experiencing a booming market. Demand is strong in top-tier data center markets and despite enjoying high occupancy, these markets are absorbing new construction at a faster pace. | |
| Digital Realty has a high-quality, diversified customer base comprising tenants from cloud, content, information technology, network, other enterprise and financial industries. It has a global presence, with 310 data centers in more than 50 metros with decent occupancy. The majority of the tenants are investment-grade and numerous customers use multiple locations across the portfolio. This assures stable revenue generation for the company. | |
| Digital Realty is expected to ride on its growth curve, backed by strategic investments in land, infrastructure and acquisitions. During the April-June period, the company acquired land parcels in three metros. It acquired a 100-acre parcel in the Atlanta metro area for $120 million, which is expected to support more than 200 megawatts of IT capacity. The company acquired a 167-acre land parcel in the Dallas metro area for $11 million, which is expected to support around 480 megawatts of IT capacity. | |
| Lastly, it acquired several land parcels for around $6 million as part of an assemblage in the Chicago metro area. Such expansionary efforts will bring in future revenue growth for the company. | |
| DLR is undertaking efforts to enhance its portfolio by carrying out various development and redevelopment activities. In recent years, Digital Realty has expanded in the Americas by adding capacity in Chicago, Dallas, Northern Virginia and Toronto. For 2025, the company expects to incur capital expenditures for its development activities (net of partner contributions) in the range of $3.0-$3.5 billion." | |
