Roughly $750 billion. That’s how much Meta Platforms Inc., Amazon.com Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Google owner Alphabet Inc. are expected to devote to capital expenditures this year alone.
That’s more than the entire gross domestic product of Ireland or Belgium. More than half of what all of the companies in the S&P 500 Index spent in total last year. Enough to cut a $5,500 check for every household in the US.
Ian King, Bloomberg News US Semiconductor Reporter & Lynn Doan, Bloomberg News Managing Editor for Technology, join Businessweek Daily to break down the true cost of a single data center.

Stocks fluctuated near all-time highs Monday as traders looked ahead to the start of the earnings season and inflation data that will be key in shaping the Federal Reserve outlook. With Corporate America navigating one of the strongest profit cycles in recent history, equities have also defied concerns about elevated energy costs and bond yields. President Trump’s deal with Moscow on its diesel exports and his praise for Vladimir Putin are just the latest in a string of Russia-related news that have sparked criticism from Republicans weeks ahead of a midterm election that increasingly favors Democrats.

SpaceX investors are finally getting some reprieve after months of being whipsawed by volatility as the Elon Musk-led company’s stock breaks above the level it’s been stuck below since July. SpaceX is closing in on a crucial swath of spectrum needed to turn the rocket, satellite and AI company into a “major mobile carrier,” setting the stage for a clash with stalwarts like T-Mobile US Inc., Verizon Communications Inc. and AT&T Inc. Once the company receives approval from the Federal Communications Commission, it will combine its satellite-to-cell services with a terrestrial network that can connect devices everywhere.

Wall Street traders betting on another solid corporate earnings season sent stocks higher despite lingering concerns about still-elevated energy prices and bond yields. Brent crude fluctuated around $104, bringing little relief to investors worried about inflationary pressures that could make the Federal Reserve raise interest rates. Corporate America is now navigating one of the strongest profit cycles in recent history, with the S&P 500 posting seven consecutive quarters of double-digit earnings growth.
