Frequently asked questions
What is Digital Realty Trust Inc's revenue?
Digital Realty Trust Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $6.31B, and consensus projects about $10.15B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is DLR?
In its most recent fiscal year, DLR ran a gross margin of 55.39%, an operating margin of 10.77%, and a net margin of 21.41%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does DLR generate?
DLR produced $-769.04M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is DLR's balance sheet healthy?
DLR holds $3.45B in cash and equivalents against $18.40B in long-term debt, on $22.93B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
