On the news front, global AI infrastructure development continues to heat up, suggesting sustained high demand for computing power: (1) OpenAI recently indicated plans to invest trillions of dollars in the future for developing and operating the infrastructure needed for AI services; (2) Q2 2025 earnings reports from North American hyperscale cloud providers show continued expansion in capital expenditures; (3) Domestic internet giants continue to ramp up AI infrastructure investments.
Guosheng Securities points out that the computing power sector is currently experiencing resonance across macro, meso, and micro dimensions. The logical cycle of "computing infrastructure investment → application monetization → expansion in vertical sectors → reinvestment" for the entire AI computing industry is once again being reinforced. Simultaneously, the logic chain of "computing advantage → AI application advantage → market advantage" emphasizes the urgency of the giants' computing power arms race. These two logical chains corroborate each other, clearly indicating robust industry prosperity. Computing power is set to become one of the most crucial resources in the future.
