## What the data says

Iron Mountain closed at $117.40, which places it in the upper portion of a 52-week range that runs from $77.77 to $134.68. That range is wide — the high sits roughly 73% above the low — and the current price is nearer the top of it than the bottom, meaning the stock has recovered most of the ground covered over the past year without returning to its peak.

The market is pricing the business at about $34.95 billion, or roughly 87 times trailing earnings and 43 times forward earnings. That gap between the two multiples reflects an expectation of substantially higher earnings ahead. The reported profit margin is thin at 5.5%, so relatively little of each revenue dollar reaches the bottom line, even as revenue grew 18.5% over the trailing period — a combination typical of a capital-intensive business carrying heavy depreciation and financing costs. Book value is negative, which makes the price-to-book figure of -27.28 uninformative as a valuation measure here. The dividend yield stands at 2.82%, consistent with its REIT structure, and a beta of 1.217 indicates the shares have moved somewhat more sharply than the broad market in both directions.

Recent news flow is weighted toward the data center sector rather than the company itself. Several items cover colocation market forecasts, industry conferences, and the growing role of power availability in data center real estate — sector context that touches Iron Mountain without being about it. The company-specific items are sparser and older: a February 2026 report on projected double-digit growth for the year, an August 2025 note on 12% revenue growth in the second quarter, and a February 2025 item on a single-day decline of more than 7%. A November 2025 piece grouped the stock among high-yield real estate names. The overall pattern is one where the sector narrative, particularly around data centers, has generated more coverage lately than Iron Mountain's own disclosures.
