Big Tech stocks swing on AI spending fears: Amazon slides, Nvidia rebounds as week ahead looms

New York, Feb 7, 2026, 12:43 — The market is closed. Investors can't agree on whether the AI surge is worth the price tag as Big Tech heads into next week. Amazon.com slid 5.6% on Friday, while Nvidia soared 7.9%. Thanks to Amazon’s latest moves, expected AI spending by it and cloud giants Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta is now pegged close to $600 billion for 2026. The Dow broke through 50,000 for the first time ever on Friday. Yet the Nasdaq lags, down 0.9% so far this year.

Alphabet stock drops for a fourth straight day as AI spending jitters linger

NEW YORK, Feb 7, 2026, 09:00 ET — The market is closed. Alphabet dropped another 2.53% to finish at $322.86 on Friday, marking its fourth day in the red.

With U.S. markets quiet for the weekend, that question lingers.

AI stocks snap back: Nvidia surges, Dow clears 50,000 as Amazon’s AI spend spooks investors

Nvidia and several other chipmakers connected to AI soared Friday, driving the Dow Jones Industrial Average past the 50,000 mark for the first time. Amazon slipped, though, fueling debate among investors about how much the AI ramp-up is costing. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq snapped their three-day losing streaks, both closing in the green.

Dow Hits 50,000 as Nvidia Jumps and Amazon’s $200B AI Capex Plan Whipsaws Markets

The Dow Jones Industrial Average pushed above 50,000 points for the first time on Friday, a milestone for the blue-chip index as stocks snapped back from a week of AI-driven jitters. Nvidia and Caterpillar helped lead the move. The rally landed after three straight sessions of selling that hit big technology names and spilled into crypto. Investors have been weighing whether the artificial intelligence boom is turning into a capital-spending race that pressures profits, at least in the near term.

Dow hits 50,000 as Amazon’s $200 billion AI spending plan spooks tech investors

Wall Street surged Friday, pushing the Dow past 50,000 for the first time as chipmakers soared on hopes for fresh AI data-center investments, though Amazon slipped amid concerns over increased spending. The S&P 500 climbed 1.73%, with the Nasdaq Composite up 1.91%. Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom all rallied over 7%. “Real demand for AI products” is still drawing in buyers, said Ross Mayfield, investment strategy analyst at Baird. This shift is turning heads as the once-unified AI trade splits: hardware and infrastructure suppliers—those “picks and shovels” plays—are getting the market’s vote, but software firms and heavy spenders face more scrutiny. With Big Tech poised to pour about $600 billion into AI by 2026, investors have stopped handing out easy wins; now, every dollar committed is seen as a test of margins. “A de-risking trade,” SanJac Alpha’s Andrew Wells called it. Over at St. James’s Place, strategist Carlota Estragues Lopez pointed out that headlines get “interpreted far more cautiously” than before.

Dow rebounds toward 50,000 as tech snaps back; bitcoin and gold claw higher while Amazon capex rattles AI bets

Stocks snapped back on Friday, reversing course after three straight sessions of selling that dragged down big tech and other risk plays. By 12:10 p.m. ET, the Dow was up 989.72 points, or 2.02%, sitting at 49,898.44. The S&P 500 added 1.56%, while the Nasdaq jumped 1.69%, according to Reuters data. “The market looks like it was getting a bit overdone to the downside,” said Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth. This shift is shaking up the AI trade, as investors get choosier about who stands to gain—or lose—going forward. Software stocks have taken the brunt of it this week: ServiceNow has dropped 12%, Salesforce is down 9%. Hardware, the “picks ’n shovels” of AI, is proving more resilient, Reuters said. “Investors are differentiating between who enables AI and who may be disrupted by it,” said Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at Saxo.

Software stocks rebound after eight-day rout as Anthropic’s new Claude and Alphabet AI spend keep nerves high

U.S. software stocks bounced back Friday, boosting a key sector fund following several days of steep declines tied to rapid gains in artificial intelligence. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software ETF climbed roughly 2.4% to $81.59 in late morning trading. The shift is significant as investors scramble to figure out whether AI will devalue some enterprise software or just reshuffle who gets paid. This debate has landed smack in the middle of earnings season and a broader retreat from crowded “AI trade” bets.

Wall Street selloff accelerates: Nasdaq sinks, Bitcoin breaks $63,000 as AI fears grip markets

Wall Street’s selloff intensified Thursday, pulling the Nasdaq down to its lowest finish since November. Investors unloaded major tech and software stocks, while bitcoin fell below $63,000. The decline is significant now as the market’s biggest wager—rapid AI adoption driving profit growth—is running up against valuation limits.

Amazon stock price slides after-hours on $200B AI spending forecast as AI stocks wobble

New York, Feb 5, 2026, 17:05 EST — After-hours update Amazon.com dropped in after-hours Thursday after forecasting roughly $200 billion in capital expenditures for 2026 and projecting first-quarter operating income between $16.5 billion and $21.5 billion—falling short of estimates. Shares tumbled as much as 11%, last down around 7%. The capex, which covers long-term assets like data centers and chips, also factors in about $1 billion in extra costs from its Leo satellite internet venture.
