    Hyperscaler AI Capex Projected to Rise to $1.3T Supporting Nvidia 2028 Growth

    Question

    Hyperscaler AI Capex Projected to Rise to $1.3T Supporting Nvidia 2028 Growth

    Direct answer

    Infrastructure projections indicate aggregate AI hyperscaler capital expenditures could expand to $1.3 trillion, up from the current $800 billion baseline. The ramp reflects ongoing data center cluster construction and accelerated compute deployment across enterprise and cloud platforms. Nvidia's fiscal 2028 financial targets incorporate 70% revenue growth, dependent on customer capex commitments translating into continuous high-density server orders. Market participants are monitoring the initial 2027 capex guidance disclosures during the upcoming Q3 earnings cycle. — bullish pressure on AVGO.
