Google ordered to halt work on two data centers in ‘Texas of Europe'

Impact · against what's priced in

Since the market is already discounting the cloud growth premium and ignoring AI-driven margin expansion, a delay in regional infrastructure deployment is a marginal negative rather than a catalyst.
