Digital Realty jumps as Q1 results and raised 2026 outlook highlight strong AI-driven leasing momentum

None

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (DLR) is up 3.8% today. Here is some analysis on what might have caused this price movement.

Analysis: The stock appears to be rising after Digital Realty reported Q1 2026 results and lifted its full-year 2026 core FFO guidance, reinforcing confidence in demand for data-center capacity tied to cloud and AI workloads. Investors also seem to be responding to strong leasing bookings and a growing backlog that improves multi-year revenue visibility.

Details:

  • Digital Realty reported Q1 2026 core FFO of $2.04 per share, up 15% year over year.
  • The company raised its 2026 core FFO guidance range to $8.00–$8.10 per share (from $7.90–$8.00 previously).
  • Total leasing bookings were highlighted at $707 million (100% share), alongside backlog of about $1.8 billion (100% share), supporting expectations for future lease commencements.
  • Management discussion emphasized AI-oriented demand signals, including a major hyperscale lease and growing small-deployment/interconnection activity.
