Morgan Stanley's July 16, 2025 forecast for annual US data-center ABS issuance: $10B in 2025 rising to $37B in 2028

~$10B (2025) → ~$37B (2028)forecast

Value kindforecast — Forecasts are time-bound outlooks, not specifications; test decisions across plausible scenarios.
ScopeHistorical forecast for US ABS only; excludes CMBS and GPU-backed structures. CREFC's February 2026 preliminary estimate for 2025 ABS issuance was about $15B.
CaveatMorgan Stanley's CMBS forecast is separate ($7B in 2025 rising to $25B in 2028), so $25B is not the ABS figure.
