Equinix outshines Digital Realty in dividend growth, making it the better Roth IRA pick amid AI data center boom.

Equinix and Digital Realty are two leading data center REITs benefiting from the AI infrastructure surge, but Equinix stands out for Roth IRA investors due to its consistent dividend growth. Equinix has raised its dividend annually for 11 years, with management targeting 9%-12% annual growth in adjusted funds from operations per share through 2029. Digital Realty, by contrast, has kept its dividend flat since 2022, focusing on development and acquisitions. While Digital Realty offers a higher yield and lower valuation, Equinix's strong dividend growth and revenue outlook make it the superior choice for tax-advantaged Roth IRAs where compounding untaxed dividends matter most.
