Microsoft reduced spending by approximately $5 billion due to delays in data centers, while AMD raised its revenue forecast

According to a report by The Information, Microsoft has reduced its capital expenditures for the third quarter by about $5 billion due to delays in the third-party data center it plans to lease. Sources say that the data center project by Iren located in Childress, Texas, has encountered delays, leading Microsoft to postpone some expenditures. Microsoft had previously announced plans to invest $9.7 billion over five years to lease servers equipped with NVIDIA GPUs from Iren.Power supply and grid access have also become bottlenecks for computing power delivery. Last month, Microsoft withdrew from a plan to lease a data center project in the UK from Nscale due to delays in grid access. As self-built data centers struggle to meet demand in a timely manner, Microsoft is simultaneously leasing computing power from multiple cloud service providers.Meanwhile, AI server supplier Supermicro continues to raise its performance expectations. The company's revenue for the first fiscal quarter reached $19.95 billion, exceeding analysts' expectations of $16.39 billion, and it expects revenue for the second fiscal quarter to be between $19.5 billion and $21.5 billion. The revenue forecast for fiscal year 2027 has also been raised from $65 billion to $72 billion to $72 billion to $82 billion. Bernstein pointed out that assessing AI computing power demand cannot simply rely on contract amounts or megawatt scale; it also needs to consider contract cancelability, duration, and actual deployment time; some projects may be delivered in phases, and chip procurement agreements may correspond to the same batch of computing power as data center leasing contracts.

Goldman Sachs: Upgrades the forecast for U.S. data center construction spending, expected to reach 125 billion dollars by 2028

Despite the panic in the market caused by stricter regulations on data centers after the Democratic Party gained control of Congress, Goldman Sachs has raised its forecast for U.S. data center construction spending, increasing the 2026 expectation from $67 billion to $80 billion, and from $87 billion in 2027 to $100 billion, while also predicting for the first time that it will reach $125 billion in 2028.Goldman Sachs pointed out that there are currently about 86 GW of data center projects under construction in the U.S., with approximately $900 billion in high-confidence projects awaiting construction, indicating that the overall construction cycle remains resilient. The demand and backlog orders from hyperscale cloud service providers such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Google have not shown significant cooling, with H100 computing power rental prices rising 26% year-on-year and GB200 rental prices increasing by 50% since the beginning of the year.In response to the data center moratorium proposed by Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa, Goldman Sachs believes that its impact is more about delaying project delivery rather than directly canceling construction plans, but it may lead to increased financing costs, reduced tax incentives, and some clients canceling contracts. Goldman Sachs also warned that the overall growth prospects of the industry need to be distinguished from the survival capabilities of individual developers, as highly leveraged data center developers may face severe financial pressure due to project delays and rising financing costs, with some companies potentially unable to last until their projects go into production.

Analysis: The new regulations for the U.S. 401(k) retirement plan open the door for altcoins, but there are still entry barriers in the short term

The proposed rule allowing alternative assets such as cryptocurrencies to enter 401(k) retirement plans has been submitted to the White House for final review on November 5. The proposal does not limit the types of cryptocurrencies that can be included, nor does it set a minimum market capitalization threshold, meaning that altcoins and small to mid-cap tokens may also have the opportunity to enter U.S. retirement investment plans in the future.However, industry insiders point out that asset management firms still need to comprehensively assess performance, fees, liquidity, valuation, benchmark indicators, and investment complexity when selecting investment targets. Bitcoin and Ethereum, with their mature markets and investment products, are expected to gain access first, while small to mid-cap tokens may face higher barriers due to insufficient historical data, limited liquidity, and lack of reliable valuation benchmarks.In addition, experts expect that cryptocurrency ETFs and managed funds will enter 401(k) plans before direct holding products, as the former are easier to adapt to existing custody and account management systems. The industry anticipates that some cryptocurrency investment options may begin to be implemented in 2027, with further expansion of coverage expected around 2028.The proposal still needs to complete the White House review and subsequent legislative processes, and it will not completely exempt retirement plan managers from fiduciary responsibilities and litigation risks.
