S&P Global Ratings reports that the six largest hyperscalers, including Alphabet and Amazon, will spend over $1.3 trillion on AI infrastructure by 2027. These companies are expected to have negative free operating cash flow in 2026 and 2027, with recovery projected around 2029.

S&P will continue monitoring how these investments are monetized and their long-term financial impact.
