English original

Demand is justifying all the spending, but the spending is getting harder to unwind. 1

Is AI a bubble? Not yet. Our updated dashboard tracking the investment wave currently has no gauges in the red, two in amber, and the rest in healthy green (just). 1

Since our last update, AI revenues have continued to rise, reaching $126 billion over the last twelve months as of July. We also experienced a jumpy market, which led to a severe correction in semiconductor stocks, somewhat cooling public valuations. On our side, we have improved the methodology for counting AI capex (we show both the published and restated series below). 1

AI boom or bubble panel with five gauges comparing September 2025 and August 2026 — *The dashboard compares September 2025 in grey with August 2026 in black; three gauges are green, two are amber, and none are red. 1*

That demand has smacked headlong into a tight supply of compute capacity, which is being met by increasing investment in infrastructure. And with that comes more risk. While the hyperscalers are still using a large share of their cash reserves, they are increasingly scouring the globe for capital, both straight-up debt and increasingly intricate financing vehicles. As Michael Parekh argues, this "gaming of the system" is not only rational; it is necessary, as long as revenue is compounding. But these structures can become brittle if it slows. 1

Funding quality has deteriorated since Sep 2025. In our base case, we expect it and economic strain to turn red during 2027. 1

The full analysis shows where the tension is building. 1

Inside the full update

For members, we: 1

Update all five boom-or-bubble gauges with new data. 1
Show why AI revenues are outrunning even higher infrastructure spending. 1
Discuss the web of debt, leases and guarantees now underpinning the buildout. 1
Explain our outlook through 2027 and the signals that would change our minds. 1

The verdict remains boom, not bubble. 1

Economic strain: 2027 is a key year

需求足以支撑全部支出，但这些支出越来越难以撤回。1

AI 是泡沫吗？还不是。我们更新后的投资浪潮追踪仪表盘显示，目前没有任何指标进入红区，两个指标处在黄区，其余指标处在健康的绿区（勉强算是）。1

自上次更新以来，AI 收入继续上升，截至 7 月的过去 12 个月达到 1260 亿美元。市场期间波动剧烈，半导体股票因此大幅回调，公开市场估值有所降温。我们也改进了 AI 资本开支的统计方法（下文会同时展示公布口径和重述后的序列）。1

这股需求迎面撞上了紧张的算力供给，市场正通过增加基础设施投资来弥补缺口。风险也随之增加。超大规模云服务商仍在动用大量现金储备，但它们越来越多地在全球范围内寻找资本，既包括直接举债，也包括越来越复杂的融资工具。Michael Parekh 认为，只要收入还在复合增长，这种「gaming of the system」不仅合理，而且是必要的。但一旦收入复合增长放慢，这些结构可能变得脆弱。1

自 2025 年 9 月以来，融资质量已经恶化。我们的基准情景认为，融资质量和经济压力会在 2027 年转为红色。1

完整分析展示了压力正在何处累积。1
