URL: Not captured — experimental run

Extract¶

Goldman Sachs estimates that the major technology companies (Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and others) have planned aggregate capital expenditure of $650-700 billion for 2026, with a substantial portion directed toward AI infrastructure. This capex level is unprecedented and represents a significant drag on free cash flow across the industry, even for companies that are profitable at the operating income level.
