Core Insights - Wall Street anticipates a significant increase in spending by major hyperscalers, with projections indicating over $700 billion in budgets for 2026 [1] Group 1: Spending Plans of Hyperscalers - The five largest hyperscalers—Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta Platforms, and Oracle—are facing increasing backlogs of compute demand for their cloud services [2] - The projected capital expenditure budgets for 2026 are as follows: Amazon at $200 billion, Alphabet at $180 billion, Microsoft at $151 billion, Meta Platforms at $125 billion, and Oracle at $58.8 billion [5] - Year-over-year growth in spending for these companies is substantial, with Alphabet showing a 97% increase, Amazon at 56%, Oracle at 66%, Meta Platforms at 73%, and Microsoft at 28% [5] Group 2: Focus on AI Data Centers - A significant portion of the capital expenditure is directed towards building and outfitting new AI data centers, with Amazon also investing in its logistics networks [6] - Microsoft CFO indicated that approximately two-thirds of their capital expenditure is allocated to short-lived assets, primarily GPUs and CPUs, suggesting a similar trend among other hyperscalers [8]

Amazon and Alphabet saw huge growth in cloud computing during Q4.Alphabet (GOOG 1.10%) (GOOGL 1.06%) and Amazon (AMZN 0.39%) are two of the largest companies in the world, and each is heavily investing in artificial intelligence (AI). However, each is also making a fair bit of money from it, too, thanks to their cloud computing services.Several investors are bullish on both companies (including myself), but which is the better buy right now? Let's take a look at what each business is doing and see the bette ...

近日，Stratechery创始人、知名科技分析师Ben Thompson参与了一场深度对话。 在本次长达一个半小时的深度访谈中，Ben Thompson凭借其二十年的科技观察经验，围绕AI时代的算力瓶颈、商业模式演变以及科技巨头的护城河进行了犀 利点评。 核心预警：TSMC的保守与2029年的芯片荒 作为聚合理论的提出者，Thompson对当前AI基础设施的建设速度表达了极大的担忧。他提出了一个核心观点： 全球AI扩张的限制因素实际上是台积电的产能 扩张速度。 Thompson指出，尽管市场需求巨大，但作为垄断者的台积电在扩产上表现得相当保守。这是因为晶圆厂（Fab）的风险极高，一旦产能过剩，巨额的折旧成 本将摧毁利润率。 "晶圆厂99.9%的成本是折旧……台积电实际上表现得很理性。他们宁愿放弃潜在的长期收入，也不愿承担产能过剩的下行风险。" 这种保守策略导致了风险的错配。台积电将产能不足的风险转移给了英伟达、苹果和各大云厂商，而这些科技巨头面临的是"因算力不足而损失未来收入"的风 险。 Thompson做出了一个惊人的预测： "我认为我们在2029年左右将面临大规模的芯片短缺。" 他强调，目前的资本开支增 ...

债券投资者担忧，为研发最顶尖的人工智能技术，全球顶尖科技企业会持续大举发债，直至财务承压。 这种担忧为信用衍生品市场注入了新活力。银行、投资者等机构可通过这类工具对冲风险，防范借款人 债务高企、偿债能力下降。据美国证券存托与清算公司（DTCC）数据，一年前，多家高评级科技巨头 还没有对应的单一主体信用衍生品，如今它们已成为美国金融板块之外交易最活跃的合约品种之一。 数据显示，甲骨文公司（ORCL）相关合约数月来交投活跃，近几周Meta 平台公司（META）、字母 表公司（GOOG、GOOGL） 的相关交易也大幅升温。剔除反向交易后，字母表未平仓信用衍生品对 应债务规模约8.95 亿美元，Meta 约6.87 亿美元。 投资者表示，人工智能领域总投资预计将超过3 万亿美元，其中很大一部分将通过债务融资，对冲需求 只会继续增长。全球一批最富有的科技企业，正迅速沦为负债最高的群体。 PGIM 固定收益联席首席投资官格雷戈里・彼得斯称： "超算云厂商的资本开支规模极其庞大，且后续投入只会更多，这不得不让人思考：你真的愿意在这一 领域毫无对冲地暴露风险吗？"他表示，仅靠覆盖一篮子标的的信用衍生品指数来提供整体违约保护已 ...

炒股就看金麒麟分析师研报，权威，专业，及时，全面，助您挖掘潜力主题机会！ 来源：张忆东策略世界 2026年的春季行情，是一场关于"新质生产力"与"全球流动性边际改善"的重新共鸣。近期行情调整颠簸 恰似"倒车接人"，重点布局"十五五规划"的重点领域与具备全球竞争力的中国优势资产。 一、 AI行情：去伪存真而非Game Over，回调只是重定价 核心逻辑：不要被短期的波动蒙蔽了双眼，AI科技革命仍处于"基础设施建设期"，美联储降息周期还将 延续，类似1997-98的互联网浪潮而非1999-2000年。 当前的回调是市场对"大力出奇迹、扩大资本开支以增效"旧叙事的纠偏，及对"Agent颠覆性"新叙事的 适应，叠加美联储人事提名引发的风险偏好变化。我们判断这更像拥挤交易后的仓位与估值消化，而非 产业趋势逆转；只要算力投入持续转化为产品迭代与真实需求，回调就不是AI熄火，而是"去伪存真"后 的再定价、再出发。 1． 资本开支的"豪赌"昭示AI浪潮的巨大惯性：2026年美股六大科技巨头资本支出预计高达 6500亿美元 （高基数下同比再激增55%），中国四大互联网巨头资本开支增速将达 77%。 2． 从"对话玩具"到"生产 ...
