GoKawiilUS Tech Stocks Drop Sharply as AI Spending Nears $1 Trillion
US technology stocks fell for a second straight day, with the Nasdaq down over 3.5%, Intel shares plunging as much as 30%, and Reddit dropping 26%. Alphabet extended losses after losing more than $500 billion in market value the previous day, as combined 2026 AI spending commitments from Meta, Alphabet, Oracle, Amazon and Microsoft reach $800.6 billion.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Analysts quoted in the report suggest the selloff reflects investor anxiety that massive AI infrastructure spending may not yield returns quickly enough, with FHN Financial's Chris Low saying big tech firms are showing 'growing pains.' XTB's Kathleen Brookes suggests investors have grown less tolerant of weak earnings and that continued struggles could signal the AI trade has passed its peak, though this remains speculative given November's historically strong market performance.
