   Goldman Sachs CEO Solomon: Compute Demand Far Exceeds Supply, AI Financing Will Remain Strong Over the Next 12 to 24 Months

   Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon said that compute demand far exceeds supply, and that strong financing activity over the next 12 to 24 months will meet part of that demand, with investor demand for subscriptions to large AI financing deals being "very strong." He believes that AI infrastructure construction is still at an early stage, but rising financing costs will change the returns on some projects; Goldman Sachs has secured the lead underwriting role for Anthropic's IPO and is co-leading Meta's $95 billion equity financing plan.

   Morgan Stanley CEO: AI Capital Expenditure Could Reach $15 Trillion Over the Next Decade

   Morgan Stanley CEO Ted Pick expects that AI-related capital expenditure could reach $10 trillion to $15 trillion over the next decade, with hyperscalers potentially investing $800 billion to $1 trillion annually over the next 7 to 12 years. He said current progress is only equivalent to the second inning of a nine-inning baseball game, with $2 trillion to $3 trillion in capital already committed or deployed. He also estimates that the productivity dividend from AI could raise U.S. real GDP growth by 50 to 70 basis points per year.

He estimates that hyperscale cloud service providers may invest $800 billion to $1 trillion annually over the next 7 to 12 years, and says current progress is equivalent to the second inning of a nine-inning game, with $2 trillion to $3 trillion in capital already committed or actually deployed. He also estimates that the productivity dividend brought by AI could raise the growth rate of U.S. real GDP by 50 to 70 basis points per year.

   Morgan Stanley CEO Ted Pick said at the HKMA Global Financial Leaders' Investment Summit in Hong Kong that the largest hyperscalers may spend $800 billion to $1 trillion annually over the next 7 to 12 years, and Morgan Stanley estimates that cumulative AI infrastructure spending over the next 10 years could reach $15 trillion. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said capital markets remain willing to absorb AI financing demand, and the main factor limiting deal size is the cost of capital rather than whether funds are sufficient.
