Оценка менеджмента
confident
Management's overall tone was confident, driven by record cloud revenue above $54B, AI ARR surpassing $37B, and strong demand signals, though they acknowledged ongoing capacity constraints.
Оценка AI от менеджмента
Our AI business surpassed $37 billion ARR, up 123%. We are at the beginning of one of the most consequential platform shifts that will change the entire tech stack as agents proliferate and become the dominant workload.
Инвестиции и мощности
We expect capex spend to increase to over $40 billion as we continue to bring more capacity online. For calendar year 2026, we expect to invest roughly $190 billion in capital expenditures, and we expect to remain constrained at least through 2026.
