Investors are increasingly buying in on Big Tech’s skyrocketing expenditure on AI as technology firms release earnings reports that support such huge spends. This comes after artificial intelligence contributed significantly in propelling demand in internet search, cloud computing and digital advertising.
Tech titans like Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon all reported increases in revenue, and these giants are among the tech firms spending the most to build out their AI infrastructure.
Riding on the notion that this revenue growth will continue, these firms are significantly increasing their outlays on AI to address the capacity shortages which have held back their ability to satisfy the skyrocketing demand for AI services despite many quarters of allocating billions of dollars to AI operations.
The financial reports provide further proof that AI is fast becoming a major factor in growing revenue at tech companies, but analysts and investors agree that it is still early days for the spend on AI to be monetized fully. This positive outlook highlights how surging demand for AI is softening the blow for technology companies in the wake of the uncertainty created by the tariff environment. Other sectors are struggling to cope in this uncertain economic environment.
Analysts say that as the core businesses of the tech firms remain strong, investors will remain confident in the companies and give them additional time to prove that the large sums of money being spent to acquire AI talent, expand capacity and ramp up operations in other activities linked to AI is justified.
For now, investors are backing the tech giants as markets reveal. Shares of Microsoft ticked up by 4% as last week ended, and Meta registered gains of 11.3%. These gains are votes of confidence in the direction the companies are taking.
However, not too long ago, the tech giants all came under immense investor scrutiny due to the huge amounts they were directing towards AI capex, especially after the release of DeepSeek, a Chinese generative AI chatbot whose creators claimed to have spent only a tiny fraction of the money that American tech firms were spending to develop similar technology.
Those concerns within the investment community contributed to those tech firms performing poorly in stock markets, with the result that the Magnificent Seven underperformed the S&P 500 year-to-date until just days ago.
The latest financial reports from the big tech firms have helped to quell those doubts and confirm that the seven top tech firms are, indeed, still magnificent. You can bet that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) and its ilk will be buoyed by this healthy sentiment to pump even more capex into AI development.
