Evercore ISI:AI支出热潮中超大规模云服务商现金流料“失血” 唯微软(MSFT.US)有望幸免于难
智通财经网· 2026-02-24 06:37
分析师还指出:"在过去三年中,'美股七巨头'加上甲骨文的资本支出总额约占经营现金流总额的40%或 更低,但在2025日历年,这一占比已上升至约50%,并预计在2026和2027日历年将达到60%以上。尽管 人工智能驱动的需求为长期投资提供了令人信服的逻辑,但短期后果是自由现金流走弱、资本回报受 限,以及对融资环境的敏感度上升。如果债务成为基础设施扩张更为重要的资金来源,我们预计投资者 的关注点将转向资本密集度更低、更加注重投资资本回报率和资本配置效率的资产。" 智通财经APP获悉,根据Evercore ISI的数据,在人工智能(AI)基础设施支出大举扩张之际,微软 (MSFT.US)预计将成为"美股七巨头"中唯一在2026年实现自由现金流增长的超大规模云服务商。 Evercore指出,亚马逊(AMZN.US)、谷歌(GOOGL.US)以及Meta Platforms(META.US)预计将在2026年出 现自由现金流同比下降,另一家不属于"美股七巨头"的大型云服务提供商甲骨文(ORCL.US)的自由现金 流也预计将出现下滑。相比之下,微软在2026年的自由现金流预计将实现5%的增长,"美股七巨头"中 的另外两 ...
法巴解析OpenAI新支出计划:算力投资路线图明确,利好微软及甲骨文
Zhi Tong Cai Jing· 2026-02-24 04:15
据报道,OpenAI计划到2030年在算力方面总计投入6000亿美元。OpenAI首席执行官萨姆·奥特曼(Sam Altman)早在去年10月曾表示,该公司计划到2033年在基础设施方面投入高达1.4万亿美元。 法国巴黎银行分析师Stefan Slowinksi在一份投资者报告中表示:"在我们看来,这些修订并不一定反映 出OpenAI变得更加克制。相反,更新后的预测与此前宣布的到2033年1.4万亿美元基础设施承诺大体一 致,资本支出仍明显集中在2030年之后。考虑到OpenAI可能计划到2030年每年在算力方面投入超过 2000亿美元,我们的粗略测算表明,OpenAI最初提出的1.4万亿美元规模仍有可能实现。" 法国巴黎银行股票研究部门表示,OpenAI更新后的人工智能(AI)基础设施资本支出计划,对超大规模云 服务商微软(MSFT.US)和甲骨文(ORCL.US)构成利好。 法国巴黎银行认为,这一更新总体上为OpenAI的主要支持者微软以及其主要基础设施合作伙伴甲骨文 描绘了积极前景。Stefan Slowinksi指出:"随着现金消耗前景更加明确,以及OpenAI超过1000亿美元的 融资即将完成(此后 ...

法国巴黎银行认为,这一更新总体上为OpenAI的主要支持者微软以及其主要基础设施合作伙伴甲骨文 描绘了积极前景。Stefan Slowinksi指出:"随着现金消耗前景更加明确,以及OpenAI超过1000亿美元的 融资即将完成(此后可能还需要约800亿美元才能实现自由现金流盈亏平衡),我们认为这在短期内降低 了微软和甲骨文面临的OpenAI对手方风险。OpenAI更新后的营收预期(2030年目标为2800亿美元,较此 前2000亿美元的上调主要来自企业业务)也意味着,如果OpenAI能够实现其目标,微软到2030财年应能 额外获得120亿美元的收入分成(较市场一致预期高出4%)。不过,尽管OpenAI还计划在短期内大幅提高 算力预算,但微软和甲骨文是否会直接受益于这部分新增支出仍不明确,尤其是在亚马逊(AMZN.US) 据称参与本轮融资的情况下。" 据报道,OpenAI计划到2030年在算力方面总计投入6000亿美元。OpenAI首席执行官萨姆·奥特曼(Sam Altman)早在去年10月曾表示,该公司计划到2033年在基础设施方面投入高达1.4万亿美元。 法国巴黎银行分析师Stefan Slowinksi ...

同时西莫斯·布莱克利认为新任Xbox CEO阿莎·夏尔马的工作就是Xbox的"临终关怀",给Xbox这个品牌一个体面。毕竟,谁会将大型电影制片 厂交给不喜欢电影地人,或者将一家唱片公司交给一个从未看过现场演出地人,这并不合理。 就在国内玩家享受春节假期时,微软Xbox高层大地震,作为领头人的菲尔·斯宾塞宣布退休,而原本被认为是其接班人的莎拉·邦德则直接辞 职。微软直接安排CoreAI首席执行官阿莎·夏尔马空降掌管Xbox。菲尔·斯宾塞的退休代表着Xbox的一个时代结束,而莎拉·邦德的辞职则不由 让人猜想微软高层是否对Xbox现状不满。对此,Xbox的联合创始人西莫斯·布莱克利(Seamus Blackley)称随着微软侧重于AI,Xbox正在被逐步 放弃,而阿莎·夏尔马就是为Xbox进行"临终关怀"的。 西莫斯·布莱克利表示随着阿莎·夏尔马空降Xbox,这很可能代表着微软游戏业务的未来将由生成式AI主导。微软CEO萨提亚·纳德拉在转型AI 未来方面下了无数赌注,投入了巨额资金和信誉。相对的,像Xbox这样的非AI业务,正在逐步淘汰。虽然微软不会挑明这一点,但事实如 此。相对的,他赞扬了退休的菲尔·斯宾塞,其认 ...
