Google looks to Wall Street as it spends $85 billion on AI

Alphabet has set terms for an enlarged $84.75 billion equity offering, looking to shore up cash for its AI infrastructure push. The tech giant is selling common stock, depositary shares, plus a $10 billion private deal with Berkshire Hathaway, Reuters said. It’s an uncommon stock sale for a company known for strong cash flow, showing how AI expenses are hitting even the biggest players. The focus for AI has shifted from building models and apps to the backbone—chips, power, land, cooling, and data centers. Alphabet flagged that demand for its AI products and services now outstrips supply. It’s planning $180 billion to $190 billion in capital spending for 2026, with more expected in 2027.

The weekend’s pause could prove important after Bloomberg said Friday that a group of top Diageo executives will exit as Chief Executive Dave Lewis works on a major overhaul. Now, investors have to figure out next week if Friday’s move up was real momentum or just some relief in an otherwise weak trading stretch.

State Farm is set to pay close to $279 million back to eligible auto policyholders in Georgia, according to the state’s insurance commissioner. The payout, described as a policyholder dividend, will come as a direct cash payment—roughly $135 per vehicle on average. That works out to 8% of premiums earned for qualifying policies that were active at the end of Dec. 31, 2025, the commissioner’s office said. State Farm Mutual’s Georgia payout falls under its record-breaking $5 billion auto customer dividend, the insurer said. Distributions kick off this summer, targeting more than 49 million insured vehicles nationwide, with individual payments averaging $100—though actual amounts depend on state and premium paid.
