16 AI data center forecasts we track, and which are coming true

Forecasts move markets, but few people check them afterwards. Our predictions page keeps 16 dated calls on data-center power, spending and memory, and marks each one as new data arrives.

3Hyperscaler capex

5Memory tightness

Micron, Samsung and TrendForce on how long the memory shortage lasts.

6Chip equipment

7Optics and power equipment

8A status on every call

Why track forecasts

Big forecasts, such as gigawatts of new data centers or a trillion dollars of capex, shape how investors value the whole sector. Checking them against monthly data shows which ones are holding up and which are drifting. A forecast that keeps getting raised is a tailwind; one that is falling behind is a warning.

How to use the page

Filter by category (power, capex, chips, memory, equipment) and read the status note on each card. The stocks listed on each card are the ones most exposed if the forecast proves right or wrong.
