Digital Realty Q3: Record Leasing and Higher FFO Guidance

Digital Realty’s current analysis supports a constructive trajectory: record leasing, a larger backlog, AI-driven demand and expanded private-capital access reinforce management’s expectation of continued growth. The thesis remains dependent on execution, available power, development economics and the company’s ability to manage regulatory and community scrutiny.
