What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
Rackspace Technology will operate the full enterprise AI stack, leveraging key partnerships to scale AI capacity to 30MW by 2028. The company cut FY26 revenue by $150m and EBITDA by $20m due to supply constraints, but projects a 15MW capacity by 2027 and 30MW by 2028 with $15–$20m revenue per MW and 50%+ Adjusted EBITDA at scale. Palantir momentum, Apollo support, and an investor call on July 9 add near-term catalysts, while funding via a capital raise supports the expansion.
