April 10 - Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) is gearing up for a major spend, reaffirming its plans to pour about $75 billion into its data center and server infrastructure.
At the Google Cloud Next Conference 2025, CEO Sundar Pichai explained that the hefty capex will mainly support upgrades for its AI compute and cloud services. He also mentioned that the company is set to launch its Cloud Wide Area Network, Cloud WAN, which promises over 40% faster performance and similar cost savings. This new network will soon be available to Google Cloud customers.
The announcement comes amid fresh concerns over U.S. tariffs. President Trump recently signaled a temporary easing on some high tariffs, even as pressure on China ramps up, sparking some uncertainty in the tech sector.
Other major players, like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Meta (NASDAQ:META) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), have already invested billions in similar upgrades last quarter and are expected to follow suit in 2025. In a market where infrastructure is king, Alphabet's bold move reflects its confidence in future growth despite the current tariff challenges.
