Google’s margin hit could favor infra vendors that let it bring its own stack
BenBajarin · x · 2026-07-23
Ben Bajarin argues that Google's earnings comments point to a practical infrastructure constraint: margins are taking a hit because Google has to rely on third-party infrastructure.
His reading is that this may push Google toward vendors who can let it bring its own infra rather than forcing a higher margin penalty. In his view, that makes pure neoclouds or maybe even GPUaaS less attractive, while AI infrastructure REITs could be better positioned.
