DLR Earnings FAQ

Answers computed from Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s reported history

DLR is scheduled to report on Oct 29, 2026, after the market closes. Analysts expect EPS of $0.53.

Over the last 9 quarters with a usable EPS surprise, DLR beat the consensus estimate 5 times (56%), missed 4 and landed in line 0. It has beaten estimates in each of the last 4 counted quarters. 3 quarters where our data sources disagree on beat versus miss are shown but not counted.

Across its last 12 quarters with a measured reaction, DLR moved an average of ±4.0% in the first session after reporting. It closed higher 58% of the time; the largest gain was 11.0% and the largest drop -8.3%.

Options currently price a move of about ±5.9% (nearest at-the-money straddle that expires after the report). It measures the size of the expected move, not its direction. That is 1.47x its average historical move of ±4.0%, so options look expensive relative to history.

DLR fell in the first session after 2 of its last 5 EPS beats (40%). A beat that was already priced in, or weaker guidance, can send a stock lower.

Across its last 12 quarters with price data, DLR moved an average of +2.6% in the 20 trading sessions before reporting and was higher in 83% of them. After a run-up of 3% or more (4 quarters), it fell the next day 50% of the time, averaging -1.3%. This describes past reports; it is not a forecast.

In 8 reports DLR opened at least 1% away from the previous close. It gave back half or more of that gap by the close 1 of 8 times (13%), and fully reversed 0 times. A fade means the opening move was partly undone during the first session.
