  • Alphabet Falls Premarket as Investors Question AI Spending, Cloud Outlook
    July 8, 2026, 7:17 AM EDT. Alphabet slipped 1.36% to $362.04 before the bell on July 8. Shares came under pressure as the company's $180-$190 billion 2026 capex plan, driven by AI and cloud, fueled concerns about spending and returns. Q1 Search paid clicks rose 13% and Google Cloud shows a $462 billion backlog, but investors want to know if these numbers will start showing up in cash flow before rising debt, stock sales, and legal bills hit valuation. Tech stocks overall were weak; chip ETFs lost 5.3%, showing market concerns that AI investment might not pay off. Amazon's $25 billion AI bond deal pointed to funding stress for the sector's biggest names. Alphabet now trades at a price-to-earnings ratio in line with Amazon and Nvidia, as the market remains focused on growth and capex control.
