The “Nikkei Asia Review” reported on the 21st that after reviewing financial reports and other data from Google's parent company “Alphabet,” Microsoft, Amazon, Metaverse, and Oracle, it was discovered that the hidden debt of these five tech giants has increased 8 times in 4 years, reaching 1.65 trillion US dollars in the most recent quarter, far exceeding the balance of about 1.35 trillion US dollars in the balance sheet. As early as February, rating agency Moody's issued a warning about the huge hidden debts of US tech giants. According to the Financial Times, Moody's said in a report at the time that the current US accounting standards have “limitations,” allowing large technology companies to hide tens of billions of dollars of potential liabilities in the midst of the artificial intelligence data center construction frenzy. This loophole may make it difficult for investors to see the real financial health of these tech giants.
