Equinix, Inc., (NASDAQ:EQIX) an operator of carrier-neutral data centers, continued to make progress on several fronts: 1) the closing of its Telecity acquisition in Europe, 2) a strong finish to 2015 with organic growth beating analyst expectations, and 3) maintaining financial flexibility and a strong balance sheet in an uncertain market. In addition, supply/demand in the data center space is favorable and price accommodative with consolidation capping supply and cloud and outsourcing lifting demand. All of those contributed to an increase in the stock price in the first quarter. (Gilad Shany)
