#AIInfraEarningsWatch AI infrastructure companies continue reporting exceptional growth. Lumentum, CoreWeave and Supermicro each delivered revenue increases above 90%, while Nebius reported year-on-year growth of more than 450%. Coherent grew approximately 34% and issued stronger-than-expected guidance, while Cisco delivered double-digit revenue and earnings growth. Together, the reports show demand spreading across cloud computing, servers, optical connections and networking equipment. However, investor tolerance for high spending is declining. Nebius reportedly spent $5.7 billion on quarterly capital expenditure, while Coherent shares fell after hours despite beating forecasts. Applied Materials is the next major test because its results can show whether semiconductor-equipment demand is keeping pace with the broader AI buildout. My view is that the AI infrastructure cycle remains fundamentally strong, but revenue growth alone is no longer sufficient. Investors increasingly want expanding margins, backlog conversion and evidence that today’s enormous investments will produce sustainable free cash flow.
