AMZN on raising 2026 cash CapEx to $220B: "The higher cost of memory is pushing this number up from our prior estimate of about $200 billion." "Even at that amount, we will still not have enough capacity to meet all the demand we have in 2026. I believe this dynamic will also be true in 2027." "The demand we already have for 2028 is striking." "We typically purchase servers and networking equipment a few months before putting them into service, so we have strong visibility into customer demand before we trigger the spend." "If the demand isn't there, we won't spend the capital for servers and networking equipment."
