AI Rally Falters as Alphabet, Tesla Earnings Loom; Nasdaq Futures Drop 0.9%
GOOG sits 86% above its 52-week low of $187.05.
Summary
The AI-driven tech rally is losing momentum ahead of Alphabet's earnings after the close, with Nasdaq futures down 0.9%. Investors are focused on whether Alphabet will sustain its massive AI capex, including the $700B 2026 plan and $80B equity offering. Tesla's results are also in the spotlight. The pullback follows recent high-impact news: a $5B AI cloud JV with Blackstone, EU consumer complaints, and the $80B offering. Oil's surge above $94 adds macro pressure. This earnings report will be a critical test of AI investment conviction.
