AI Data Center Capex Projected to Hit $750B in 2026
Question
AI Data Center Capex Projected to Hit $750B in 2026
Direct answer
The scale of AI infrastructure investment is accelerating beyond previous forecasts. A $750 billion capex projection for 2026 suggests that hyperscalers are not yet seeing a reason to slow deployment, despite concerns about immediate ROI. TSMC and Micron are positioned to capture a significant portion of this spend as the primary providers of advanced logic and HBM memory.
