Anticipated Big Tech spending plans create catalysts for chip stock buying.
Context
What happened: Ahead of big tech earnings, an article highlights Nvidia, Broadcom, and Marvell as chip stocks tied to hyperscaler capital spending, noting all three trade below their record closes.
Key numbers: Alphabet 2026 capex outlook $195B to $205B; Amazon about $220B; Meta $130B to $145B; Microsoft about $175B for calendar 2026; combined plans over $700B.
Why it matters: The article argues hyperscaler spending plans are the figure to watch, and that flat late-October plans could pressure all three stocks, which depend on the same big spenders.
