Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Real Estate is in steady. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
The reason to own it still holds.
View ThesisRevenue growth is accelerating — up about 20% over the past year.
View GrowthRanks in the weakest quality tier of its industry — roughly the bottom 23%, softest on free-cash-flow margins.
View QualityMiddle-of-the-pack management execution.
View ManagementExpectations look reasonable — what the market is pricing in sits in line with or below what analysts forecast.
View ValuationModerate volatility — typically moves about 1% a day.
View RiskDigital Realty's hyperscale data center expansion has to keep compounding to justify the price. Revenue growth is slowing, dropping from 29% to 21% year over year. The company beat its last quarter by 7%. DLR trades at 24x P/FFO versus a 13x peer median. The price reflects less growth than our forecast. A guidance cut after a recent raise would hit credibility. Our model puts the next-quarter miss probability near 19%. Peer multiples imply a price about 2% below where it trades. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-11-04. DLR is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).

A consensus fair price across our valuation methods, at three horizons. As of 2026-11-04. Estimates are diagnostics, not price targets. Short-horizon estimates are close to coin-flips, so confidence is a method-agreement read, not a prediction.
