摩根大通的分析首先聚焦于全球科技行业（以MSCI全球信息技术与通信服务指数成分股加上亚马逊和特 斯拉）的现金流与资本支出状况。报告估算，2025年，该行业的年度经营性现金流约为1.6万亿美元，而 包括研发在内的资本支出约为1.3万亿美元，从而产生约3000亿美元的财务盈余。 将面临1.6万亿的年度资金缺口 摩根大通的测算显示，到2030年科技行业将面临高达1.6万亿美元的年度资金缺口。 报告假设，到2030年，AI数据中心支出将达到黄仁勋预测范围的中点，即3.5万亿美元。同时，假设 2025年AI数据中心投资为6000亿美元，其余7000亿美元资本支出按过去三年11%的年均增长至2030年 的1.1万亿美元。届时，科技行业的总资本支出将达到4.6万亿美元。 即便假设经营现金流以每年20%的速度增长至4万亿美元，该行业仍将面临6000亿美元的资金缺口。 若要达到黄仁勋预测的3-4万亿美元资本开支，据摩根大通测算，科技行业到2030年将面临1.6万亿的资金 缺口，该行认为这一缺口并非难以填补。 近日，黄仁勋预测，全球AI数据中心年度支出将从今年的约6000亿美元，到2030年飙升至3万亿至4万亿 美元。这意味着未 ...
