Оценка менеджмента
Upbeat
Management expressed strong confidence in record results, growing backlog, and new project announcements, while acknowledging near-term leverage tightness as manageable.
Инвестиции и мощности
Management is increasing 2026 growth CapEx midpoint to $7.3 billion, driven by new projects like NEO (a $2.3B power project) and expansions (Atlas, Silver Spur). They are willing to temporarily let leverage rise to 4.1x (above the 3.5-4x target) to fund these high-return projects, with plans to manage leverage through partnerships and other financing options.
