, , . The stock ranked 364th in trading activity among equities listed that day.

Recent developments highlight the company’s strategic positioning in the digital infrastructure sector. A focus on expanding its global data center footprint and enhancing cloud connectivity solutions has drawn investor attention. Analysts note that Equinix’s ability to secure long-term contracts with major cloud providers remains a key driver of its valuation resilience amid market volatility.

Operational metrics, including consistent revenue growth from its interconnection services, underscore the company’s competitive edge. Investors are also monitoring capital expenditure plans, which aim to address rising demand for colocation services in high-growth regions. These factors collectively contribute to the stock’s performance, despite broader market fluctuations.

To set up and run this back-test rigorously, I need to clarify a few key details about the strategy mechanics and the investment universe: Market / Universe: Which exchange(s) should the stock pool come from (e.g., all U.S. listed shares on NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX, only S&P 500 constituents, another region, etc.)? Are ADRs, ETFs or other non-common-stock instruments allowed, or should we restrict to common shares only? Portfolio construction: Weighting: Should the 500 selected names be equal-weighted each day, or weighted by something else (e.g., proportional to dollar volume)? Turnover & rebalancing cost: Do you want to include explicit transaction costs (e.g., 5 bp per side) when the portfolio is refreshed daily? Price type: Use the close-to-close return (close today to close tomorrow), or open-to-close, etc.? A common choice for a 1-day holding horizon is close-to-close. Benchmark (optional): Do you want the results compared against a benchmark such as SPY or an equal-weight index?
