Guidance is up
Full-year 2026 revenue now $13.0-13.3B, from $12.4-13.2B. After the first three quarters, that puts Q4 at roughly $4.69-4.99B. Consensus was $4.70B, which is the bottom of that range.

For the 5pm ET call:
C1 Q4 revenue: why does the implied $4.69-4.99B start right at consensus, and what decides where in the range it lands?
C2 Power: only about 150 MW more by year-end after 200 MW+ in Q3. Is that caution, or are sites slipping?
C3 Interest: what rate is the new $4.2B of convertibles and the $2.6B DDTL costing, and when does operating income pass interest?
C4 Backlog: how much of the $28B added in Q3 came from OpenAI and the other top customers?
C5 Capex: how much of the $37-39B is already funded?
