Alphabet (GOOGL) will report second-quarter results after the market closes on July 22, but analysis indicates its current $180–$190 billion guidance is too low. The company is likely to move its 2026 outlook toward $190–$200 billion while retaining language consistent with approximately $300 billion of spending in 2027. A higher forecast would extend demand for Nvidia accelerators, Broadcom-designed custom processors, TSMC wafers and advanced packaging, HBM supplied by SK hynix, Micron and Samsung, networking systems, optical components, data-center power and liquid cooling, and semiconductor equipment. Alphabet is the first major hyperscaler to report this earnings season, with Meta Platforms, Microsoft and Amazon following one week later. Microsoft remains capacity-constrained despite planning approximately $190 billion of calendar 2026 spending. Oracle reports that nearly all its AI data-center capacity is already associated with contracted revenue. Meta is accelerating its planned 2027 capacity additions while considering external sales. Alphabet entered the second quarter with $462 billion of Google Cloud backlog and described demand for AI compute as unprecedented. These conditions do not point toward capex moderation.
