Google to finance $5B Texas AI data center for Anthropic
Homepage > News > Business > Google to finance $5B Texas AI data center for Anthropic Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL) is planning to provide financial support for the construction of a multibillion-dollar data center project in the U.S. state of Texas, to be leased to leading artificial intelligence (AI) company Anthropic, as the need for AI infrastructure to support ever-advancing models increases. According to a Financial Times report, citing “people familiar with the matter,” the 2,800-acre data center campus in Texas could exceed $5 billion in its initial phase, with Google’s loan for the construction phase being part of the tech giant’s broader infrastructure deal with Anthropic. A consortium of banks is competing to provide the financing by mid-year for the initial phase, while support from Google should allow the project to raise the financing at a lower cost, given its strong credit rating, sources told the FT. Construction has reportedly already begun on the site, which is expected to deliver around 500 megawatts of capacity by late 2026, enough to power around half a million U.S. homes, with potential expansion to 7.7 gigawatts. It is also located near major gas pipelines, allowing it to rely on onsite gas turbines. The report of Google’s deepening infrastructure support for Anthropic comes as the latter firm remains in a standoff with the U.S. government over how state and military bodies use its AI models. Up until recently, Anthropic had a reported $200 million contract with the U.S. military to use its technology within the Pentagon’s classified networks. In February, this relationship began to fracture when Anthropic said it “cannot in good conscience” comply with a demand from the Department of War (DoW) to remove safety precautions from its AI models, such as those related to mass domestic surveillance. The company reportedly also expressed concerns over the use of its products in the abduction by U.S. military forces of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in January. In response, U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth took a hard stance and, on February 27, labelled Anthropic a “supply chain risk,” a designation usually reserved for U.S. adversaries, and ordered that, effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the U.S. military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic vowed to fight the matter in court, and on the same day the FT reported on Google’s deepening infrastructure ties wi...
Broadcom Stock Price Forecast: $313 Trades 32% Below $462 Target — Q1 ...
Key Points AVGO Q1 AI revenue hit $8.4B up 106% YoY, Q2 guided at $10.7B up 140% — accelerating, not decelerating, toward a $100B FY2027 target backed by supply chain secured through 2028 Tomahawk 6 drives 60% AI networking growth with 102.4 Tbps monopoly; Broadcom holds 60% custom accelerator share and 80%+ AI Ethernet share with Anthropic committing $21B in chip orders. At 27.63X forward P/E with 0.92X PEG, 77% gross margins, $26.9B annual FCF, and a $462 base target — the 2.25X risk-reward ratio makes AVGO a Strong Buy on dips toward $290-$300. Broadcom (AVGO) closed Thursday at $313.60, essentially flat on the day with a 0.04% move in a session where the broader technology sector was being sold aggressively on Iran war escalation fears and Nasdaq Composite pressure. The stock's 52-week range tells a story of extraordinary volatility disconnected from underlying business performance: AVGO has traded from a low of approximately $146.29 to a high of approximately $412.97 over the past twelve months — a range that reflects both the extraordinary AI infrastructure buildout tailwind that drove it to all-time highs and the macro-driven risk-off sentiment that has compressed it approximately 24% from those peaks. At $313.60, Broadcom trades at a market cap of approximately $1.48 trillion, a forward P/E of 27.63X, a dividend yield of 0.79%, and year-over-year revenue growth of 25.22% — a combination of metrics that makes the case for the stock's fundamental attractiveness clear and the case for its current price being disconnected from its business reality compelling. The core analytical challenge with Broadcom (AVGO) at $313.60 is that the market appears to be pricing the stock as a late-stage beneficiary of the AI buildout — a company whose best growth days are behind it and whose elevated multiples reflect past performance rather than future acceleration. The actual evidence from the most recent quarter and forward guidance tells a categorically different story. Q1 AI semiconductor revenues grew 106% year-over-year to $8.4 billion — a number that represents acceleration rather than deceleration relative to prior quarters. Q2 AI semiconductor revenue guidance of $10.7 billion implies 140% year-over-year growth — an acceleration above Q1's already extraordinary 106% pace. And management's $100 billion AI revenue target for fiscal 2027 — a figure announced with the specificity and supply chain commitment that makes it credible rather than aspirational — im...
