QQQ Slides Again as Alphabet’s $185B AI Spend Plan Stirs Nasdaq-100 ETF Jitters

QQQ Slides Again as Alphabet’s $185B AI Spend Plan Stirs Nasdaq-100 ETF Jitters

Invesco QQQ Trust, the widely traded Nasdaq-100 ETF, dropped roughly 1.6% Thursday morning, following continued selling pressure in big tech after a steep decline the previous day. The Nasdaq-100 ETF acts as a fast barometer for U.S. growth stocks, often jolting when investors pivot between “risk-on” and “risk-off” stances — moving toward safer holds like cash, bonds, or defensive picks. This week’s action has been propelled by earnings news and fresh arguments about whether AI spending is accelerating too rapidly and excessively.

Google’s $185B AI spending shock rattles stocks as Nasdaq slide spreads to Asia

Google’s $185B AI spending shock rattles stocks as Nasdaq slide spreads to Asia

Asian stocks slipped Thursday after Alphabet, Google's parent company, announced a steep rise in capital spending — targeting long-term assets like data centres and chips. The move intensified the tech sell-off that has already weighed on Wall Street this week. MSCI’s broad Asia-Pacific index excluding Japan dropped 1.8%, while South Korea’s KOSPI plunged 3.9% as investors fled tech-heavy markets. https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/global-markets-global-markets-2026-02-05/ The market mood shifted sharply. Investors piled into major U.S. tech stocks ahead of earnings, expecting strong sales and optimistic guidance. But the soaring costs tied to artificial intelligence are now prompting closer scrutiny of cash flow and returns. “That increase in capex was absolutely enormous,” noted Tony Sycamore, an analyst at IG.

Google dodges $2.36 billion disgorgement bid in privacy class action, but $425 million verdict stands

Google dodges $2.36 billion disgorgement bid in privacy class action, but $425 million verdict stands

A U.S. federal judge in San Francisco dismissed an attempt to impose over $2 billion in extra penalties on Alphabet’s Google in a privacy class action. The court refused to order Google to hand over $2.36 billion in alleged profits or halt certain data practices. At the same time, the judge rejected Google’s request to decertify the class, keeping the September jury verdict intact. The ruling is crucial because it caps the potential payout for users following a trial focused on a privacy “off” switch. Seeborg called the post-verdict motions from both sides efforts to “augment and upset the verdict in various ways.”

Tech stocks face a Monday test after Trump taps Warsh for Fed as Big Tech earnings line up

New York, Jan 31, 2026, 13:43 EST — The market has closed. U.S. tech stocks head into February with the focus back on interest rates after Donald Trump picked Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve. A hotter-than-expected Producer Price Index report — which measures what businesses charge and pay — dragged the Nasdaq down 0.94% on Friday. The 10-year Treasury yield hovered near 4.251%. Terry Sandven of U.S. Bank Asset Management noted investors are repeatedly zeroing in on “the profitability of the massive capex levels” — with capex referring to capital spending.
