What could break the thesis?
The debt burden has intensified significantly following the issuance of $2.0 billion in new 2030 convertible notes in June 2025. Total convertible senior notes, net, rose from $1.29 billion at year-end 2024 to $3.26 billion as of June 30, 2025. While the 2025 notes were settled, the 2026 notes ($1.29 billion) remain a near-term maturity risk. (2 intensifying)
“Convertible senior notes, net [as of June 30, 2025]: 3,260,506... [as of December 31, 2024]: 1,287,321”
The risk is stable but remains a concern as the company shifts toward AI. Management notes that while previous global shortages (2021-2022) have eased, future supply constraints for GPUs and other electronics could disrupt the build-out of AI-related developer platforms. (2 stable, 2 intensifying)
“This global shortage disrupted and increased the cost... of some of our expected purchases of network equipment and servers.”
