资金流动层面，科技巨头的经营现金流虽然尚能覆盖资本支出，但两者的差距正在缩小。若资本支出继 续超越内生现金流，未来的投资将更依赖于外部融资。这种情况下，AI基础设施建设的财务健康性会 受到挑战，尤其是在风险投资市场陷入窘境的背景下。 巴克莱强调，AI资本支出的放缓不仅影响股市，也可能对更广泛的美国经济产生重大影响。仅在2025 年上半年，数据中心相关投资对美国GDP增长贡献了约1个百分点。如果美国经济因劳动力市场或其他 因素遭遇衰退，而AI投资同步放缓，这种负面共振可能对股市造成比单一行业变动更严重的打击。 分析显示，从2023到2025年间，AI相关股票的涨幅大部分由估值扩张推动。一旦增长故事受到质疑， 估值可能迅速回调。巴克莱的压力测试结果表明，如果数据中心资本支出下降20%，标普500指数的盈 利将受到一定拖累，但估值的下降幅度则更为显著。 近期市场传闻中，人工智能（AI）资本支出放缓被视为可能成为美股的重大隐患。巴克莱股票策略团 队的分析指出，如果数据中心的资本支出在未来两年内减少20%，标普500指数将面临3%至4%的盈利下 行压力，更为严重的是估值可能下降10%至13%。这表明，数据中心资本支出的 ...
