Amazon spends US$220B on AI as power delays squeeze cash flow
What happened
Amazon plans approximately US$220 billion in capital expenditure in 2026, mainly for cloud and AI infrastructure. However, delays in data center power and construction are causing server racks to arrive before they can be deployed; the bottleneck is leaving expensive equipment in warehouses, preventing it from immediately generating computing capacity and revenue. The source does not state any further cause, and the plan remains planned rather than executed per the source.
