Top tech giants like Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft plan nearly $800 billion in AI data center spending by 2026, but analysts predict only about half of the announced capacity will be realized by 2030. This raises concerns of a repeat of the late-1990s fiber-optic overbuild, where massive investments led to overcapacity and write-downs. While demand for AI infrastructure is strong, rapid hardware obsolescence and high financing costs add risk to profitability. Investors are cautious as stock prices of these companies have declined recently, reflecting uncertainty about returns from this capital-intensive cycle.
