While AI infrastructure investments are accelerating, it remains uncertain whether revenue growth will scale proportionately. This raises the risk of a <strong data-start=\"2010\" data-end=\"2064\">capital-heavy cycle where returns lag expectations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1ijtaqj\" data-start=\"2072\" data-end=\"2139\"><span role=\"text\"><strong data-start=\"2076\" data-end=\"2137\">6.
