What to watch

1. The 33 analyst targets range from $197 to $250 per share, so watch how future revisions move the average and whether the spread between the lowest and highest forecasts narrows or widens. Confirmed
2. Watch whether the 37 covering analysts keep the Buy consensus, with 31 Buys, 6 Holds and 0 Sells, or whether holds and sells appear as earnings and leasing updates arrive. Proposed
3. Watch Digital Realty's leasing revenue and capital spending on new data centers, because analyst targets depend on future cash flows, which means the rent collected after costs. Weaker or stronger results could shift targets. Analyst inference
