Alphabet's AI Spending Momentum Highlights Two Data Center Stocks to Hold Through 2030
Yahoo Finance ·
Alphabet ramped up its capital expenditures to $51.4 billion in the third quarter of 2026 for artificial intelligence infrastructure, doubling its spending from the previous year. Alongside its October 28 earnings report, the tech giant reaffirmed its full-year 2026 projection of $195 billion to $205 billion and signaled even greater expansion in 2027. Meanwhile, Microsoft reported spending $45.2 billion in its fiscal first quarter ending September 30, with expectations for accelerated outlays in the back half of the fiscal year. Despite this massive infrastructure boom, key suppliers trade well below their peak values. Nvidia sits approximately 10 percent lower than its October 6 record finish, and Vertiv rests roughly 35 percent beneath its May all-time high, presenting compelling long-term opportunities for investors looking toward 2030.
AI 시장 분석
Big tech companies like Alphabet and Microsoft continue aggressive investments, pouring $51.4 billion and $45.2 billion respectively into capital expenditures in Q3 alone to expand AI infrastructure. Alphabet maintained its 2026 annual capital expenditure outlook at $195 billion to $205 billion, signaling continued increases into 2027. Such massive cloud and AI data center investments are expected to directly drive revenue growth for related semiconductor and infrastructure suppliers. Investors should focus on the long-term growth potential of the AI infrastructure value chain despite short-term stock price volatility.
상승 영향
- AI — Alphabet and Microsoft invested $51.4 billion and $45.2 billion respectively in AI infrastructure in Q3 alone, directly and sharply increasing demand for related hardware and semiconductors.
- Semiconductors — As big tech companies continuously expand purchases of GPUs and CPUs to build AI models, revenue and profit growth for major semiconductor suppliers like NVIDIA are guaranteed.
DYAX 전담 분석
The aggressive increase in capital expenditures by Alphabet and Microsoft directly translates into earnings growth for core AI data center suppliers such as NVIDIA and Vertiv. Alphabet's capital expenditures more than doubling year-over-year in Q3 proves that demand for AI infrastructure remains robust, which has a direct correlation with increased orders for related hardware and power management equipment manufacturers.
From a future scenario perspective, if big tech's continued AI investments lead to sustained strong earnings for suppliers, stock prices could rebound strongly, but if concerns over return on investment (ROI) are highlighted, volatility could expand. Therefore, quarterly capital expenditure execution scale and major clients' AI monetization metrics must be closely monitored.
