2026 hyperscaler capex estimates: Microsoft $95–110B, Google $80–95B, Amazon $90–105B, Meta $60–75B. AI infrastructure dominates the marginal spend; total cloud+AI capex reaches ~$430B globally.
Key Points
Power has overtaken chips as the binding constraint on data-center buildouts.
Custom silicon hits 15% of inference share; first credible challenge to Nvidia dominance.
Nuclear PPAs are emerging as the new strategic asset class for hyperscalers.
Capex disclosures imply 60% YoY growth; grid data caps physical buildout at 30–40%.
