Amazon says cloud capacity is spoken for
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said the company’s cloud capacity is sold out through 2027, according to Investing.com. The comment points to demand for computing resources running ahead of supply. Customers planning large workloads may have limited room to add capacity, and investors tracking infrastructure spending will look for how Amazon responds. Further detail on the remarks was not immediately available.
JetBlue creditors line up restructuring help
JetBlue creditors are working with restructuring adviser PJT Partners, The Wall Street Journal reported, as relayed by Investing.com. Creditors typically hire advisers to prepare for negotiations over a troubled balance sheet. The report does not mean a restructuring has been agreed or filed. Watch for any company response, and for how bondholders and other stakeholders position themselves.
Instacart reportedly in sale talks
Instacart is in talks with DoorDash and Uber about a sale, according to The Information, as reported by Investing.com. No terms were cited in the report. Any deal involving two of the largest names in delivery and mobility would likely draw regulatory attention. Watch for confirmation or denial from the companies.
France avoids a Moody’s downgrade
Moody’s spared France a ratings downgrade even as the country struggles with unrest, Investing.com reported. The decision removes one near-term concern for French government debt. Political and social tensions remain unresolved, and the next rating reviews will be the points to watch.
Meta terms update draws a senator’s criticism
A U.S. senator said Meta’s planned update to its commercial terms could harm American businesses, according to Investing.com. The comment adds political pressure on the company’s relationship with advertisers and business users. Which provisions are at issue was not specified in the report. Watch for any reply from Meta and for further scrutiny in Washington.
Allegiant takes up Boeing options
Allegiant exercised options for six Boeing 737 MAX jets worth more than $720 million, Investing.com reported. Here “options” means contractual purchase rights on aircraft, not exchange-traded contracts. The move extends the airline’s fleet commitment to Boeing’s narrow-body line.
OPay files for U.S. listing
Fintech platform OPay filed for a $336 million initial public offering in the United States, according to Investing.com. The filing adds to the pipeline of fintech listings. Pricing, share count and exchange details are the next items to look for.
Mexico closes flat
Mexico’s S&P/BMV IPC ended the session down 0.01%, essentially unchanged, Investing.com reported.
