Digital Realty Q3 2026: 90%+ portfolio occupancy, 1,464 MW under development, and a $3.5B acquisition redefine scale ahead of sustained AI-driven demand

Digital Realty's Q3 2026 10-Q reveals a business accelerating on every operational dimension: total operating revenues reached $1.90 billion in Q3 and $5.46 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, driven by 60% non-stabilized revenue growth as the global development pipeline converts to stabilized cash flow. The June 2026 acquisition of the remaining 64% interests in the Dulles 9 and Brickyard joint ventures for $3.5 billion — the largest single transaction in the filing — adds Northern Virginia capacity at a moment when Americas occupancy has reached 95.8% and the consolidated portfolio stands at 90.7% occupied. With 1,464 MW under active construction (up approximately 90% from year-end 2025), 63% pre-leased, and estimated stabilized cash yields of 11.6%, DLR is deploying capital at a rate and scale that positions it as the primary beneficiary of hyperscaler AI infrastructure demand.
