康宁的股价在过去一年里飙升逾 75%，光学通信业务已成为该公司规模最大、增长最快的板块。作为曾经历过互联网泡沫兴衰的标志性企业，康宁如今正 站在新一轮数据中心建设浪潮的风口浪尖，与众多供应商一同迎接历史性需求。 据 CNBC 报道，康宁公司首席执行官魏文德（Wendell Weeks）在北卡罗来纳州希科里市的一家电缆工厂接受采访表示，Meta 承诺在 2030 年前向康宁支付 高达 60 亿美元（IT之家注：现汇率约合 417.91 亿元人民币），用于其人工智能数据中心的光纤电缆采购。为满足 Meta 及英伟达、OpenAI、谷歌、亚马 逊、微软等巨头日益增长的需求，康宁正扩建该工厂。完工后，该工厂将成为全球最大的光纤电缆生产基地。 光纤最终可能取代英伟达等公司在服务器机架内部使用的铜缆，目前，在服务器内部连接芯片方面，铜缆仍占主导地位，但魏文德认为，一旦每个机架中的 图形处理器数量达到数百个规模，向光纤的转变将"不可避免"。 IT之家 1 月 27 日消息，在人工智能热潮席卷全球的当下，Meta 正加速布局大规模数据中心以抢占先机。为此，这家科技巨头将目光投向了一家拥有 175 年 历史的玻璃制造商 —— ...

Group 1: Performance of the Magnificent Seven - The Magnificent Seven tech giants, including Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla, have led the stock market for the past three years, but their performance has declined since the end of 2025 [1][12]. - Alphabet and Amazon are the only stocks among the Magnificent Seven that have seen gains, with Alphabet rising nearly 20% during the recent downturn [2][12]. - The Magnificent Seven index is currently trading at 28 times profits expected over the next 12 months, which is below previous peaks and in line with the average over the past decade [10][13]. Group 2: Investment Shifts and Market Reactions - Traders have increasingly invested in companies benefiting from Big Tech's spending, such as Sandisk, which is up over 130%, Micron Technology, which has risen 76%, and Western Digital, which has gained 67% since the Magnificent Seven index peaked [3][12]. - The upcoming earnings reports from Microsoft, Meta, Tesla, Apple, Alphabet, and Nvidia are expected to provide insights into the health of various tech sectors, with a projected profit growth of 20% for the fourth quarter, the slowest since early 2023 [4][6][12]. Group 3: Capital Expenditures and Growth Expectations - Major tech companies are expected to spend approximately USD 475 billion on capital expenditures in 2026, significantly up from USD 230 billion in 2024, raising investor expectations for returns on these investments [7][12]. - Microsoft’s Azure revenue rose 39% in its fiscal first quarter, with expectations of 36% growth in the second quarter, highlighting the demand for cloud services driven by AI [7][12]. - Companies that fail to meet growth targets may face significant market penalties, as seen with Meta Platforms, which experienced an 11% drop in stock price following a projection of increased capital expenditures without clear profit pathways [8][12].
