What could break the thesis?
The company is heavily reliant on a single major customer, Microsoft, for its future AI revenue, creating significant concentration risk if that relationship sours. [CONCENTRATION]
“On November 2, 2025, the Group entered into an agreement with Microsoft Corporation... The total contract value is approximately $9.7 billion over the term of the agreement”
Commitments have significantly decreased to $368.8 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to the multi-billion dollar figures previously cited. However, the company still relies on At-the-Market (ATM) equity sales and convertible notes to fund these, with $364.9 million remaining on its current ATM facility. (3 easing, 2 intensifying, 1 high-severity)
“As at March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, the Group had commitments of $11,902,471,000 and $368,805,000, respectively... Amounts payable within 12 months of balance date: $ 11,899,054”
