Q4 deliveries pulled into Q3; construction in progress declines
Management said Q3 capital expenditure of $14.5 billion exceeded guidance because certain Q4 deliveries were pulled forward. Construction in progress fell to 9.3 billion from 11.9 billion as infrastructure was deployed against power available late in Q2.
The spending overshoot reflects accelerated deliveries and conversion of unfinished infrastructure into deployed capacity.
