On March 20, 2024, Hindenburg Research released a report on Equinix entitled "Equinix Exposed: Major Accounting Manipulation, Core Business Decay And Selling an AI Pipe Dream As Insiders Cashed Out Hundreds of Millions." The Hindenburg Report alleged that Equinix manipulated its profit margin and its Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") by misclassifying typical operational expenses, or maintenance CapEx, as growth CapEx. In addition, the report alleged that Equinix relied on an undisclosed and highly risky approach to grow its revenue by overselling power capacity in the hope that customers would not use all of the power, a method that could result in facility outages and a failure to fulfill contractual obligations.
On this news, the price of Equinix shares declined by $19.70 per share on March 20, 2024, to close at $824.88. The next day, it declined a further $13.24, to close at $811.64. On March 25, 2024, before the market opened, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") a current report on Form 8-K accompanied by a press release which stated that the Company's Audit Committee had commenced an independent investigation to review the matters referenced in a short seller report.
On this news, the price of Equinix shares declined by $8.45 per share, to close at $792.52 on March 25, 2024.
