Google's free cash flow is projected to be nearly zero in 2026 as capital expenditures soar to $175-$185 billion, driven by heavy investment in AI infrastructure. This trend is seen across major tech peers like Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft, reflecting a strategic bet on AI's long-term returns despite short-term cash flow compression. Experts argue this spending signals strong conviction in AI's future rather than financial distress. Investors face a key decision: trust these tech giants' AI bets or worry about the impact on cash flow and valuations.
