Companies like Amazon, Oracle, Meta, Google, and OpenAI have committed over 600B this year to building out datacenters. However, electrical power components like transformers, switchgears, and batteries, are not able to keep up with demand.

Will this change the outlook on other supplier companies like memory and gpus for 2026?
