IRM is an even better Buy after the steep correction, thanks to the robust data center monetization trends and the resilient legacy RIM business for excellent capital appreciation/dividend returns. The data center segment drives profitable, high growth trends while being supported by aggressive capex, strong leasing pipelines, and higher renewal rates. IRM's main monetization avenue through legacy RIM/storage business remains resilient to the rapidly changing industry trends, thanks to the wide customer base with lease terms at ~14.5 years.
Iron Mountain Incorporated has shifted toward data centers and digital solutions, driving double-digit revenue growth but not translating into sustainable free cash flow. IRM's aggressive use of non-GAAP metrics and rising leverage—actual net debt/EBITDA near 7.8x—raises material concerns about transparency and financial health. Despite a 10% dividend hike and a 4% yield, IRM's cash burn and high debt levels threaten long-term sustainability and credit quality.
