As debates intensify over the looming AI bubble, a Japanese market research firm has uncovered a startling revelation: the five largest US tech companies are concealing debts exceeding $1.65 trillion, primarily accrued from substantial investments in AI infrastructure. This staggering sum not only surpasses their officially reported liabilities of $1.35 trillion but has also surged eightfold over the past four years. The bulk of these hidden debts stems from long-term lease agreements for data centers and extensive hardware procurement contracts, notably for GPUs. Owing to accounting standards that permit such future spending commitments to remain off-balance-sheet, investors are left grappling with the challenge of accurately gauging the companies' true financial health.
