Investors will be watching Wednesday\u2019s earnings for updates on Big Tech\u2019s artificial intelligence spending plans, as the companies splash hundreds of billions to secure the data centres, chips and electricity needed to sustain advanced models. <\/p>\n

Alphabet, Meta and Microsoft, along with Amazon, are forecast to spend $350bn this year and $410bn in 2026. The companies have ratcheted those plans higher and higher over recent quarters.<\/p>\n
