Project Phoenix Has a 2GW Campus. Its Power Receipt Has Five Meters

Ground was broken in Shippingport with a 2-gigawatt promise on the data-centre side and a 205,000-dekatherm-a-day contract on the fuel side. Those figures are both real disclosures, but they do not meet in the middle. Between them sit conversion losses, the plant’s own load…

Liberty Global Has a 16.2x Tower Price. Ziggo Still Needs the Debt Receipt

The number designed to travel is 16.2 times EBITDA. The number that matters to a future Ziggo shareholder does not exist yet: how many euros arrive at closing, which debt instrument they retire, and what recurring charge replaces ownership of the towers. Liberty Global has agreed…

Cisco's fixed IOS XR releases change the maintenance trade-off

Cisco now lists integrated fixes in IOS XR 26.2.2 and 26.3.1. That changes the choice between a release upgrade and release-specific patches, but it does not price the work of deploying either safely.

Autodesk’s $1 Billion Notes Target the Term Loan, Not $994 Million of Commercial Paper

Autodesk has turned one piece of its MaintainX financing into longer-dated bonds, but not the piece that keeps pressing on short-term liquidity. The company’s $1 billion of new notes has an exact named use: repay a $1 billion acquisition term loan. In the same filed bridge, $994…

Dell’s $5 Billion Note Sale Refinances Only $1.75 Billion Due in October

Dell is preparing to sell $5 billion of new bonds before $1.75 billion of existing notes mature on 1 October. Calling the transaction a refinancing obscures the larger movement. The filed pro-forma table repays the October notes, yet still adds $3.25 billion to debt principal and…

Cardlytics disposed of the Bridg platform in March. Six months later, an agreement required it to initiate a $6,441,649.40 wire to settle a claim rooted in the 2021 acquisition. The apparent contradiction is the point: an operating asset can leave while an assumed indemnification…
