Shoals’ US$801m Order Pool Has a Signed Ledger and a Documentation Ledger
The useful question in Shoals’ record order figure is not how impressive US$801.4 million sounds. It is which part has been contracted, which part is still being turned into a contract, and what must happen before either becomes a profitable delivery.

Fermi’s 222MW TensorWave Lease Has Three Clocks Before It Becomes an Operating Receipt
Fermi’s first disclosed customer lease is more concrete than a memorandum of understanding: a named tenant, a 15-year initial term, a stated 222MW Phase 1 and an estimated US$6.5bn initial-term revenue figure. Yet the same filing places closing conditions, project-level…

Corvex Has 1.5MW Today, Expects 8MW and Holds a 12.5MW Right—not 20MW of Operating Capacity
Corvex’s expansion announcement contains a real closing, executed site agreements and a useful capacity plan. It does not place all of those facts in the same state. The company reported approximately 1.5MW of current critical IT capacity, expects about 8MW by year-end, and holds…

Digi Power X’s 40 MW Cerebras Contract Splits at a 25 MW Financing Gate
Digi Power X has a headline contract with Cerebras for up to 40 MW of AI-computing capacity in Columbiana, Alabama. Its latest quarterly filing puts the initial-term value at about US$1.1 billion and the potential value at about US$2.5 billion if Cerebras takes one seven-year…

Credo’s Customer Concentration Has Two Maps, Not One
Credo’s first fiscal quarter carried a familiar AI-infrastructure headline: US$479.003 million of revenue, up 114.7% from a year earlier. The more instructive disclosure is not the growth rate. It is the way the company reports who bought the product. One table names anonymous…

Cipher has started the gas link; its 2.5GW power terms remain undisclosed
A buried pipe can become a committed asset before the generator, grid connection or tenant it is meant to serve has public terms. Cipher Digital’s latest expansion plan makes that middle stage—not the headline capacity—the part investors need to price.
