    AI Datacenter Expansion Underpins Astera Labs and Equinix Growth

    Question

    AI Datacenter Expansion Underpins Astera Labs and Equinix Growth

    Direct answer

    AI datacenter infrastructure components continue to show robust demand projections. Astera Labs, a key provider of PCIe and CXL connectivity hardware for AI compute clusters, is projected to increase EPS by 142.9% YoY when it reports on November 3. Simultaneously, datacenter REIT Equinix closed at $1,026.06, with revenue forecast to rise 11.0% to $2.57 billion on October 28. These metrics highlight continued capital allocation into high-density datacenter infrastructure. — bullish pressure on NVDA.
