VNET’s 96.3% Commitment Still Leaves a 226MW Move-In Gap
VNET has almost sold out the wholesale capacity it has already put into service. It has not yet activated all of it. At 30 June, 970MW was committed under effective customer agreements while 744MW was being utilized. The 226MW between those states is where an impressive order…

ITG’s US$72.4m Free Cash Flow Excludes Its US$47.0m Operating Cash Use
ITG reported US$72.4 million of free cash flow for the first half of 2026 while its cash-flow statement recorded US$47.0 million used by operations. Both numbers are disclosed correctly, but they answer different questions. ITG defines free cash flow as adjusted EBITDA minus…

Salute’s T5 Deal Counts 15GW-Plus Under Management, Not Ownership
Salute has agreed to acquire T5 Operations and says the combined organisation would manage more than 15GW of data-centre capacity. The number sounds like an infrastructure portfolio. It is really the perimeter of a service obligation: customer facilities, operating teams…

STTGDC Has 780MW Operating; Nearly 2GW Is Still a Delivery Queue
The KKR–Singtel consortium has completed its acquisition of STTGDC, but it has not acquired a finished version of the operator's development plan. The closing update puts operational capacity at 780MW and nearly 2GW of powered land in construction or development. Those figures…

Firmus's US$300m APX East Commitment Is Capacity Before Service
Firmus has attached a large number to a cable that does not yet carry traffic: approximately US$300 million for up to 150 Tbps over 25 years. The agreement may be an important underwriting signal for APX East and a rational way for an AI-infrastructure operator to reserve a…

LSI's 51% Growth and 2.71x Leverage Cross Acquisition Perimeters
LSI Industries ended fiscal 2026 with a quarter that seems to compress an acquisition into two effortless numbers: sales up 51% and net leverage at 2.71 times adjusted EBITDA. The receipts are less compact. Royston supplied US$66.897 million of the US$79.555 million sales…

American Outdoor's 25.4% sales growth falls to 4.3% after repairing the retailer calendar
American Outdoor Brands sold $37.3 million in its latest first quarter, 25.4% more than a year earlier. The comparison looks very different once the company restores about $6 million of retailer orders that the prior-year quarter lost to an earlier tariff-driven shipment window.…

Docusign's 15.1% IAM share is missing its quarterly denominator
Docusign has made Intelligent Agreement Management visible as a share of annual recurring revenue. It has not made the quarterly total behind that share visible. The result is a strategically useful percentage that cannot yet answer the market's simplest product question: how…

Guidewire’s stronger operations run into a currency-and-tax squeeze
Quarterly operating profit more than doubled, yet net income fell. The route between the two numbers matters: a currency loss, a changed tax comparison and a recast adjusted-profit series are telling different parts of the story.

Argan's 2,000 data-centre vessels have no disclosed contract value
Argan has put a physical count on one of the less visible components of data-centre construction: roughly 2,000 pressure vessels for thermal-energy storage and chilled-water buffer cooling. It has not put a price on that order. The difference matters because unit count, segment…

Broadcom’s AI-rack backstop has a resale remedy, not a resale price
September’s cash-rich results strengthen the chipmaker’s capacity to carry risk. They do not tell investors what customer-specific AI racks would fetch if a lease backstop were called.

Plug got $40 million from Texas. The other $50.5 million is still conditional
Plug Power’s sale of its Graham, Texas project was announced as a source of up to $90.5 million of liquidity. The August closing delivered $40 million for a defined package of high-voltage equipment. Land, grid rights, an earnout and the expected release of collateral remain on…

Asana bought StackAI. Its employee awards still require future work
Asana’s latest quarterly filing puts a useful boundary around the StackAI deal: US$74.6m bought the company, while a separate set of equity awards depends on employees’ future service. Owning the platform and securing the work needed to integrate it are different achievements.

Semtech’s 2031 revolver has a two-part early-maturity test
Semtech’s new credit line runs to 2031 on its stated schedule. A clause tied to its convertible notes can bring that date forward, but only if two conditions hold together. The latest quarterly filing shows why the company’s financing capacity needs to be read as a set of…

RekorNet: 99.9% uptime and a 48-hour repair clock are different promises
RekorNet publishes three numbers or time claims that a business buyer could easily blend into one assurance: 99.9% uptime, 7/24 technical support and up to 48 hours for a fault that needs intervention at the customer's premises. They are not the same promise. One describes an…
