AI hyperscaler capex for 2026 is now tracking near $725 billion, nearly double mid-2025 estimates, pushing data center energy demand toward 1,050 TWh by year-end. Analysts are flagging two lesser-known power and grid stocks as primary beneficiaries of the buildout.
Key Points
2026 hyperscaler AI capex estimate: ~$725B
Data center power demand approaching 1,050 TWh
Power-grid and clean-energy plays moving into focus
Why It Matters
AI's bottleneck is shifting from silicon to electrons; investment in transmission, generation and cooling is becoming as strategically important as the models themselves.
