Private infrastructure and real estate capital are expected to play a larger role in financing the ‌AI-driven data-center boom, as companies move beyond traditional forms ‌of funding, Goldman Sachs said in a note on Tuesday. Goldman increased its ​combined capex forecast for the four largest hyperscalers - Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet - to $5.3 trillion between fiscal years 2025 and 2030. Prior to the start of first-quarter earnings, the Wall Street brokerage forecast ‌capex at $4.5 trillion for ⁠the same period.
