Got it. Very clear. Thank you guys for the time. K. Operator: Our next question comes from the line of Stephen D’Ambrisi with RBC Capital Markets. Please proceed with your question?
The text you provided is largely procedural (operator acknowledgements) plus a portion of management’s prepared/answered commentary on incremental load, RFP contracting, and project timing—but it does not contain enough detail to infer a specific financial metric (like consolidated revenue, EPS, net income, or cash flow) for The Southern Company beyond general directional discussion about load growth and how it flows into planned generation spending.
The excerpt:
The most decision-useful part of the excerpts is management’s explanation of sequencing between:
Key points stated:
In one exchange, management notes that certain spending is:
This is a timing/capital-spend phasing statement, but the excerpts do not quantify:
The excerpts include some scale framing around new generating capacity tied to contracts:
These statements provide a high-level sizing framework for capital opportunity, but again the excerpts do not provide company-wide financial guidance numbers (like EPS) that correspond to the capacity amounts.
Your question text (as given) is only the operator line about the next question and does not request a specific financial metric. 1
Separately, the supplied management excerpts discuss process/timing and contracting context, but they do not include:
So, from the excerpts provided, the most defensible “financial analysis” is limited to capital allocation and project phasing logic rather than reported performance or quantified forecasts.

Micron said most of the increase in planned fiscal 2027 CapEx will fund construction, preparing cleanroom space for capacity needs beginning in late 2028 and beyond. Because construction and qualification take time, the company is investing ahead of demand—but plans to equip new space and produce wafers in line with market conditions and customer commitments.

Oracle says its New Mexico and Wisconsin data-center projects remain on track, with permitting and grid-readiness evolving. Management maintains that neither project will threaten the fiscal 2027 revenue outlook, supported by a diversified, phased capacity pipeline and robust RPO growth; ongoing financing and BYOH arrangements reduce direct capex exposure, though broader, multi-site execution risks remain.
