Siemens stock jumps 6% after outlook raise as AI data-centre demand lifts mood

Amazon.com sketched out a $200 billion capital spending plan for 2026, with the bulk aimed at assets like data centers and servers. The stock fell 9% on Friday.

Morgan Stanley analysts cautioned that investors “are not forgiving” when companies keep spending big without demonstrating clear returns on invested capital. Google Cloud’s revenue jumped 48% in the December quarter, well ahead of AWS at 24% and Microsoft’s Azure at 39%, sustaining the scramble to expand infrastructure.
