    Alphabet Raises 2026 Capex to $205B, Boosting Nvidia Outlook

    Question

    Alphabet Raises 2026 Capex to $205B, Boosting Nvidia Outlook

    Direct answer

    Alphabet's decision to raise its capex guidance by $15 billion at the top end signals that the AI investment cycle is not yet peaking. The specific mention of Nvidia's Vera Rubin chips confirms the continued reliance on high-end GPU architecture for hyperscale cloud providers. The $514 billion cloud backlog suggests that the demand for AI-integrated cloud services is robust, providing fundamental support for the increased spending.
