Why it matters
The $200M prepayment improves cash balance, while the pending lease could lock in long‑term revenue. Debt remains high at $958M, but the company is shifting to customer‑prepaid financing.

What to watch
Potential competition from other hyperscalers and the $430M convertible notes issuance could dilute equity.
