Record Spending on Data Centers in 2026

Alphabet Inc. is set to significantly ramp up its investment in 2026, with capital expenditures expected to hit a staggering $185 billion, surpassing the combined total of the past three years. This unprecedented spending surge is aimed at expanding the company's data center infrastructure, which is pivotal to supporting its growing artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives. The anticipated expenditures are more than double the amount Alphabet spent in 2025 and far exceed the $119.5 billion analysts had forecast. This increase comes on the heels of a strong revenue performance in Q4, where Alphabet reported $97.23 billion in sales excluding partner payouts, exceeding analyst expectations.

Alphabet’s diverse revenue streams and continued product innovations ensure that the company remains a major player in the tech industry, despite the varying views from analysts.
