This quarter saw pressure in the data center segment, and Equinix, Inc. (NASDAQ:EQIX) was no exception. Reports of slowing industry activity and what was interpreted as cautious management commentary spurred some profit taking ahead of third quarter earnings. We like the growth prospects for Equinix and think management has a clear and sensible plan to keep growing at a solid pace while improving efficiencies and demonstrating margin leverage. We view 2016 as a digestion year, with two acquisitions and a divestiture, and expect 2017 to show significant leverage to shareholder profitability. (Gilad Shany)
