Alphabet Raises 2026 Capex Plan, Signals More AI Spending in 2027
GOOG sits 78% above its 52-week low of $188.7.
Summary
Alphabet increased its 2026 capital spending plan, signaling even more aggressive AI infrastructure investment than the already massive $700B plan announced in May. The company also flagged additional AI spending for 2027, extending the buildout timeline. Separately, the GOOG Axion processor now supports Arm-based CPUs and Nvidia Grace and Vera, broadening its AI chip ecosystem. This follows the $80B equity raise in June to fund AI expansion. The raised capex and 2027 signal suggest demand is outstripping even the prior record plan, reinforcing Alphabet's commitment to AI leadership.
