Equinix Surges on Earnings While Cisco and AppLovin Decline

Equinix shares climbed on Feb. 12, ranking among the top gainers after its latest quarterly earnings release. The move contrasted with declines in Cisco and AppLovin as investors favored data center infrastructure over other tech segments.
