DLR Stock Forecast & Price Target
DLR Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Digital Realty Trust has seen a notable increase in leasing volume and pricing, resulting in raised full-year 2024 guidance for total cash renewal spreads, now projected at 8-10%, compared to the previous 5-7%. The company’s impressive backlog of signed leases, totaling $760 million, along with strong demand trends from hyperscale clients, positions it for accelerated revenue and adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) growth in 2025 and beyond. As cash re-leasing spreads have remained positive since the first quarter of 2023, Digital Realty Trust's fundamentals suggest a favorable outlook driven by increasing demand and solid operational performance.
Bears say
Digital Realty Trust faces a negative outlook primarily due to a slowdown in hyperscale cloud growth, as evidenced by disappointing cloud revenue results from major competitors like Microsoft and Google, which could impact demand for data center leasing. Additionally, the company's strategy to focus on higher-level services may be less advantageous in an environment where expiring contracts are projected to see declining rates starting in 2026, potentially limiting revenue growth. Furthermore, management changes within key segments at major cloud providers may indicate instability that could adversely affect future leasing decisions and overall market confidence in data center operators.
