The typical argument for data center project debt is that the tenant is IG and therefore unlikely to default. That may be true...if the project is actually finished. $ORCL JUST sent a force majeure notice to Stargate campus, trying to defer payments when/if the buildout gets delayed. This is the $18bn construction loan that FT reported is offered at ~89-91. Remember, construction risk doesn't care if your tenant is IG. You gotta build the thing on time.

I'm not very interested in buying $MCD because I think they've lost their core competency, which is being efficient. Their product now costs a lot and isn't delivered nearly as quickly as Chick-fil-A.
