Alphabet Seeks $80 Billion to Fund AI Infrastructure Expansion

Alphabet proposed an $80 billion equity raise in its June 2026 investor presentation. The company reported Q2 2026 revenue of $119.8 billion and EPS up 294%, and raised its 2026 capex guidance to $180–190 billion — roughly six times its 2022 spending. The raise signals that AI infrastructure costs may outpace what internal cash flow can cover.
