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 ...

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 ...
