Oracle and Amazon both reported significant cash flow deficits due to massive investments in AI infrastructure, with Oracle's FY2026 CapEx at $55.66 billion and Amazon's Q2 CapEx at $54.21 billion. Oracle's free cash flow was negative $23.69 billion, while Amazon's H1 free cash flow was negative $27 billion, reflecting the high costs of building AI data centers. Microsoft and Alphabet continue to generate positive or less negative free cash flow despite large capital expenditures.

Investors are watching closely for signs of positive free cash flow to validate these bets on AI infrastructure.
