Tech stocks tumble on AI spending, weak forecasts; Nasdaq futures fall

Futures for major U.S. stock indices, including the Nasdaq and S&P 500, experienced a significant decline due to investor concerns surrounding major technology companies. Alphabet's stock plummeted over 12% following a weaker-than-expected growth report and substantial AI investment spending. Amazon also saw a sharp drop after issuing a cautious sales forecast, while Intel's shares fell sharply due to a subdued outlook for the personal computer market. These movements reflect broader volatility in AI-related stocks, which have fluctuated based on supply constraints and market enthusiasm. AI

IMPACT Investor sentiment shifts and stock volatility in major tech firms highlight concerns over AI investment costs and market expectations.
