SK Hynix raised $26.5 billion in its Wall Street debut on Friday, opening at $170 per share and breaking Alibaba's record as the largest US listing by a foreign company. The AI-driven surge in demand for high-bandwidth memory, used in Nvidia's GPUs, has pushed SK Hynix to a $1 trillion valuation.
India's AI sector faces a deepening GPU supply crunch, with demand for data centre capacity running at more than double available supply in 2025. Smaller enterprises are being pushed to the back of a tiered allocation system dominated by hyperscalers and sovereign programmes, forcing startups to optimise existing
Apple has raised MacBook and iPad prices in India by 20% to 42%, citing a sharp surge in memory chip costs driven by AI data centre demand. Micron, the leading memory supplier, reported 86% gross margins, confirming that supply pressures have fundamentally shifted component pricing across the consumer electronics
SoftBank and Nvidia are in talks to manufacture AI servers inside Japan, aiming to build local AI compute capacity. A confirmed deal would position SoftBank as a domestic AI infrastructure provider and reduce Japan's reliance on imported hardware.
Nvidia has surpassed $40 billion in equity investments this year, targeting companies across the AI infrastructure stack while simultaneously signing chip and service deals with those same companies. The dual role of investor and supplier reinforces Nvidia's hardware dominance but may draw regulatory scrutiny.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has tied the company's planned layoffs to its rising capital expenditure on AI infrastructure, and declined to rule out further job cuts. The open-ended signal suggests Meta views workforce size as an ongoing variable as it redirects resources toward compute and data centers.
Amazon's Q1 revenue beat Wall Street estimates, with AWS recording its fastest growth rate in 15 quarters. The result signals that enterprise cloud and AI spending is accelerating, strengthening Amazon's position against Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.
Microsoft has forecast strong cloud business growth and plans record capital spending on infrastructure. The move signals sustained AI-driven demand and could pressure rivals to match investment. Investors will watch whether higher spending compresses margins or accelerates revenue growth.
Meta projected full-year capital expenditures of $125 billion to $145 billion, well above analyst estimates, triggering a sharp drop in its shares. The overshoot raises concerns about compressed free cash flow and the pace of AI infrastructure spending. Investors will now watch closely for revenue growth that justifies
Alphabet and Meta both announced rising capex plans, but markets moved them in opposite directions. Alphabet gained around 5% while Meta fell roughly 10%, suggesting investors see more near-term return risk in Meta's spending trajectory. The split sets a cautious tone ahead of other major tech earnings.
Meta shares dropped after Q1 earnings as the company raised its 2026 AI capital spending forecast to between $125 billion and $145 billion. The steep increase signals a major bet on AI infrastructure but puts near-term margin pressure in focus for investors.
AWS posted 28% revenue growth, topping Wall Street estimates on strong enterprise AI demand. Amazon's stock still dropped after the company guided current-quarter operating income below analyst forecasts. The divergence reflects heavy AI infrastructure spending the company expects to monetize over coming years.
Reliance Industries has secured approval to invest $17 billion in a 1.5 GW data centre cluster in Visakhapatnam, making it the largest data centre investment in India so far. The project includes a captive 9,000 MW-peak solar power setup and will be built in two phases through 2030. It is part of RIL's broader ₹10 lakh
Google broke ground on a $15 billion AI data center campus in Visakhapatnam, India, its largest such facility outside the US. The gigawatt-scale hub will power services like Gemini and Google Search, and also serve as a new submarine cable landing point linking India to Singapore. The project was first announced in
OpenAI has ended its exclusive cloud deal with Microsoft, opening the door to partnerships with Amazon and Google. The change lets OpenAI spread its computing workloads across competing cloud platforms, potentially cutting costs and boosting its negotiating power. Formal deals with AWS and Google Cloud are expected to
Cerebras Systems has filed for a US IPO, entering public markets as an AI chip competitor to Nvidia. The listing tests investor appetite for alternative AI accelerator hardware amid surging enterprise demand and Nvidia's continued dominance. Financial disclosures in the prospectus will be the key metric to watch.
Oracle is framed as a lower-risk AI trade as investor concern over speculative AI exposure rises. Its recurring enterprise revenue and cloud infrastructure contracts provide earnings visibility that pure-play AI equities lack. Cloud backlog growth and multi-cloud partnerships are the key metrics to track.
VNET Group Inc reported high growth attributed to AI-driven demand for its data center infrastructure in China. Rising AI workloads are pressuring capacity and lifting pricing across the sector. Revenue trajectory and backlog conversion rates will be the key metrics to monitor in coming quarters.
TeraWulf plans to raise $900 million to expand its AI data centre capacity, marking a major capital commitment by the Bitcoin-mining-turned-compute infrastructure firm. The raise reflects growing competition to secure AI workload capacity ahead of enterprise demand. Deployment terms and facility timeline have not been
A China equity fund beating 98% of peers is concentrating on AI supply chain and healthcare stocks, citing early-stage spending ramps at Tencent and Alibaba as the core thesis. The strategy hinges on upstream AI infrastructure benefiting as China's largest tech platforms materially scale capital expenditure. Tencent
