Woofun AI data shows that Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle are allocating substantial capital toward AI data centers, with funds flowing to chip manufacturers including NVIDIA, Broadcom, and Micron. Bank of America characterizes this dynamic as a "generational free cash flow shift." While semiconductor producers experience rising cash flows, tech giants face rapid declines; Amazon is projected to report negative $12 billion in free cash flow this year, maintaining over $100 billion in cash reserves.

The risk is that the tech giants may start to scale back their AI investments. It would make sense for any single company to spend less, but if there is a collective pullback, both the chip market and the data center boom could quickly cool off.
