Our power thesis
We forecast a strong 2027 buildout, then greater competitive pressure by 2030 as major customers integrate capacity. Energy access grows, but reliance on suppliers, financiers, and concentrated customers limits sovereignty.
Four Forces breakdown
Each force uses the same fixed 0–100 scale. The strongest force and breadth of control determine the Power Score.
| Force | 2026 | 2027 | 2030 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compute | 80 | 85 | 80 |
| Interface | 35 | 45 | 40 |
| Alignment | 30 | 35 | 45 |
| Energy | 55 | 70 | 70 |
Our forecast
Across our 2026–2030 view, the Power Score rises from 65.0 to 69.4; the rank moves from #25 to #27.
Interface 35 → 40; Alignment 30 → 45; Energy 55 → 70.
The thesis above explains our call. Rank can fall even when power grows if other companies gain faster.
What would change our mind
