From 2025 through the first quarter of 2026, major tech companies including Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Oracle are projected to burn a combined $563 billion in free cash flow due to heavy AI-related capital expenditures. Apple stands out as the only company maintaining positive free cash flow during this period. Additionally, off-balance sheet liabilities, especially related to not-yet-commenced leases, have surged to $823 billion, highlighting hidden financial risks tied to AI investments. While layoffs at some firms offer short-term relief, the long-term financial impact remains significant, with some undervalued AI-focused companies showing strong stock performance.
