    Hyperscaler AI Capex Projected to Reach $1.3T as Hardware Guidance Approaches

    Question

    Hyperscaler AI Capex Projected to Reach $1.3T as Hardware Guidance Approaches

    Direct answer

    Hardware and semiconductor supply chains are pricing in continued expansion of AI data center investments, with aggregate cloud hyperscaler spending projected to rise from $800 billion toward $1.3 trillion. This capex backdrop underpins revenue growth forecasts of 70% for Nvidia heading into fiscal 2028, with market participants closely monitoring initial 2027 capex commentary from Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon during upcoming quarterly earnings cycles.
