Read from GOOGL’s capex guide Analyst

GOOG was the first of the four large hyperscalers to report this past week, and we view timothy.arcuri@ubs.com

the commentary as broadly positive for semis given continued evidence that AI +1-415-352 5676

infrastructure spending is accelerating into 2026 with further growth next year. GOOG's Natalia Winkler, CFA

quarterly CapEx doubled YoY to $44.9B, with management raising its 2026 CapEx Analyst

outlook by $15B to $195-205B and indicating 2027 spending will "increase natalia.winkler@ubs.com

significantly" from there. UBS latest estimates now imply GOOG CapEx growth of +1-415-352 4626

roughly +125% in 2026E and +72% in 2027E compared to consensus ests of Alex Kivali

+105%/42% heading into the earnings call. We would also highlight management's Analyst

commentary that only a limited number of TPU customer agreements (i.e. TPU sales to alex.kivali@ubs.com

Anthropic) contributed to 2Q26 revenue recognition and we expect the shipments to +1-212-713 3945

accelerate into 2H26. The TPU system sales are expected to be realized against Google Gianmarco Vella

Cloud's $514B backlog. To that point, GCP's backlog grew +385% YoY and is expected Associate Analyst

to convert to revenue over 24 months. In addition, GOOG disclosed $707B of future gianmarco.vella@ubs.com

guaranteed commitments, the vast majority related to long-term supply agreements +1-415-352 4555

extending through 2030 - we think the bulk will likely be related to securing memory but Aaryan Wadhwa
