    Moody's warns AI investment frenzy impacting financial stability of tech giants, free cash flow under pressure for companies like Microsoft and Oracle

    随着全球科技巨头竞相加码人工智能基础设施建设，穆迪评级警告称，AI投资热潮正侵蚀大型云计算服务商的自由现金流，并推高资产负债表风险，未来投资者将更加关注这些企业能否从巨额AI投入中获得足够回报。穆迪在本周发布的研究报告中表示，包括微软(MSFT.US)、亚马逊(AMZN.US)、谷歌母公司Alphabet(GOOGL.US)、Meta(META.US)、甲骨文(ORCL.US)及CoreWeave(CRWV.US)在内的六家科技企业，正从过去依赖软件、知识产权和云服务的“轻资产”商业模式，转向需要大规模建设数据中心等基础设施的“重资产”模式。（财联社）
