Value kindforecast — Forecasts are time-bound outlooks, not specifications; test decisions across plausible scenarios.
CaveatData-center ABS plus CMBS combined, not GPU-backed ABS; gross (JPMorgan) and net (Morgan Stanley) figures are not additive. H1 2026 came in at $17B (JLL, +29% YoY), on pace for ~$34B, inside the range. Barclays puts outstanding data-center ABS+CMBS at $61B year-to-date 2026 (SFA, 2026-07-23).
