    Nvidia Reaffirms $3T-$4T 2030 Data Center Capex Outlook as 2026 Run Rate Nears $800B

    Question

    Nvidia Reaffirms $3T-$4T 2030 Data Center Capex Outlook as 2026 Run Rate Nears $800B

    Direct answer

    The $800B 2026 capex projection across the major hyperscalers signals continued compute infrastructure buildout despite scrutiny over software monetization. Sustaining this trajectory requires significant downstream buildout in electrical grid equipment, cooling infrastructure, and power generation assets.
