How to read this chart
Formula: CapEx estimate plus buybacks and dividends (held at the trailing four-quarter pace) minus estimated operating cash flow. This is a floor for net new external financing: it excludes refinancing of maturities, pre-funding and cash buffers, and assumes existing net cash is untouched, so actual issuance usually exceeds it. 2026 uses first-half actuals plus a second-half extrapolation; 2027 base continues the growth rate, conservative halves it.
