What remains unresolved
- Base path
- Hyperscaler spending matches the $800B run-rate for 2026, delivering high cash flow conversion while power constraints dictate delivery pacing.
- Adverse path
- Grid interconnections and datacenter power limits delay physical cluster deployment, slowing quarterly hardware delivery timelines.
- Supportive path
- Hyperscalers confirm upward capex revisions for 2027, sustaining sequential revenue expansion through the Vera Rubin launch.
