Tracked forecast · watch-12-5
Capital spending guidance, and how it is financed.
Open
- Chokepoint
- Financing — Not a physical constraint — who's exposed if one of the physical chokepoints bites harder than expected. (Moves financial risk downstream)
- Kill condition
- Tests whether efficiency is cutting total commitment or only its composition, and whether capex increasingly runs through leveraged vehicles and vendor financing rather than operating cash — which would make the 2028 relief date a credit variable, not a construction one.

Why it is on the watchlist
Follows how the capex is financed: the more it runs through leverage and vendor financing instead of operating cash, the more the 2028 relief date becomes a credit variable rather than a construction one.
