Alphabet, Tesla Cash Burn Sparks $25B Asia Tech Exodus in July
GOOG sits 80% above its 52-week low of $197.46.
Summary
Foreign investors pulled $25.48 billion from Asian equities in July, with Taiwan and South Korea bearing the brunt as Alphabet and Tesla's negative cash flows intensified AI spending fears. Taiwan saw $22.95 billion in outflows, a sharp escalation from June's $8 billion, while South Korea lost $6.26 billion. The selloff hit AI-heavy markets after Alphabet's massive capex plans and Tesla's cash burn raised doubts about chip demand and debt sustainability. BNP Paribas noted China's low-cost AI models added to the gloom, while HSBC flagged a rotation into India as a diversification play. This marks the ninth straight month of outflows, signaling deepening investor caution around AI infrastructure bets.
