GoKawiilIntel, Amazon and Alphabet shares tumble amid AI spending worries
US tech stocks fell sharply, with Intel dropping as much as 30% after warning of a weaker PC market even as it boosts AI spending, and losing over $130bn in value. Amazon shares slid up to 6% following earnings that missed expectations, while Alphabet continued falling after a $500bn plunge the previous day tied to AI summaries hurting search ad revenue. The Nasdaq opened at its lowest level in over two months, down 2.5%, with Reddit and Roblox also declining.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The sell-off suggests investors are growing wary of how much tech giants are spending on AI infrastructure without clear near-term payoff, especially as core businesses like PCs and search advertising show signs of strain. Intel's warning of a prolonged PC slowdown alongside rising AI investment could signal tension between legacy revenue streams and AI ambitions across the sector. The timing of these declines together points to a broader market reassessment of AI-related spending rather than an isolated company issue.
