    Hyperscaler Capex Projected at $800B in 2026 as Long-Term DC Spend Targets $4T

    Question

    Hyperscaler Capex Projected at $800B in 2026 as Long-Term DC Spend Targets $4T

    Direct answer

    Hyperscale cloud providers have expanded their forward hardware expenditure budgets, with aggregate capex reaching approximately $800 billion for the 2026 calendar year. Long-term structural modeling from semiconductor leadership projects global data center infrastructure spending to expand toward $3-4 trillion annually by 2030, underpinning multi-year demand visibility.
