Why Alphabet's $85B Stock Sale Is A Game Changer
Alphabet is executing an $85B equity raise, including $10B from Berkshire Hathaway, to accelerate its aggressive AI and Cloud CapEx plans.

Alphabet Inc. executed an $80B equity raise, including a $10B Berkshire investment, to fund aggressive AI-driven capex. GOOG plans $185B in 2026 capex, with pro-forma cash of $207B and robust free cash flow supporting continued AI infrastructure investment.
