Will at least two of Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon and Meta state on a 2027 earnings call that they remain capacity- or power-constrained in AI compute?

Fewer than two hyperscalers describe themselves as constrained

This side holds that fewer than two of Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon and Meta describe themselves as capacity- or power-constrained on a 2027 earnings call. A precedent for slack appearing quickly is the compute freed up at xAI after its research effort stalled, which became available to market to external customers rather than staying locked to one user. Strong utilization of even aging infrastructure can coexist with freed-up surplus elsewhere, so a confirming sign would be two or more hyperscalers stating ample or excess AI capacity alongside reduced capex guidance.
