TREE NEWS reports: Microsoft and Alphabet report quarterly results after the close on Oct. 28, with Amazon following on Oct. 29 and Exxon Mobil and Chevron closing the week on Oct. 30, as roughly 160 S&P 500 companies report. The three AI hyperscalers spent about $134.9 billion on property and equipment last quarter, roughly double a year earlier, while free cash flow has come under pressure. Investors will focus on capex guidance, depreciation and order conversion.
Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon earnings to test AI capex against cash flow
AI take
The scale of hyperscaler capex—roughly double year-ago levels—is now colliding with visible free-cash-flow pressure, making these reports a referendum on whether AI spending can be funded from operations rather than balance-sheet expansion. This matters most for the broader AI supply chain and for any RWA or crypto-infrastructure thesis that leans on hyperscaler demand as an anchor. The open question is whether capex guidance stabilizes or keeps climbing, and whether order conversion and depreciation disclosures give a clearer read on the return timeline.
