Next DDTL expected within weeks at 7–7.5% yield
Management expects to launch its next DDTL in the coming weeks, with multiple rating agencies indicating a high investment-grade rating. Based on early discussions and current rates, management expects a 7–7.5% yield while financing more than 90% of associated capital expenditure.
The planned facility would fund most associated deployment costs at a lower yield than the previously disclosed upper end of loan pricing.

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.
