I keep getting stuck on what “$518 billion in obligations” actually means. If that’s mostly cancellable capacity and partner-linked commitments, investors may treat it as an option on demand. If it’s hard contractual spend, a $4 billion revenue base beside a $42 billion loss looks less like an IPO and more like a financing event for the whole AI infrastructure stack.
