Alphabet’s $80 billion AI stock sale puts Google’s rally to the test

Alphabet AI Search Drives Wall Street Target Hikes, Cloud Margins Still Draw Scrutiny

Google parent Alphabet has placed an order for over 3 million TPUs with Intel for 2028, The Information reported, as the company moves its AI chip game further in-house. Wall Street is watching to see if the AI ramp leads to margin pressure. Reuters said it couldn't verify the report. Piper Sandler hiked its Alphabet price target to $445 from $425 on strong gains from Google’s AI-driven search, but UBS flagged that moving Google Cloud’s TPU backlog into revenue faster could weigh on margins.

Wall Street’s Chip Rebound Lifts Nasdaq — Inflation Test Comes Next

Wall Street’s Chip Rebound Lifts Nasdaq — Inflation Test Comes Next

Wall Street advanced in Monday morning trading, led by a rebound in chip and other technology shares, as investors moved back into the artificial intelligence trade after Friday’s sharp break in momentum. The Nasdaq Composite was up 1.43%, the S&P 500 rose 0.87% to 7,448.31 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.22%, Reuters market data from LSEG showed. The move matters because one of the year’s main market engines — demand for AI chips and computing power — had begun to look less certain. Monday’s bounce suggested investors were not ready to abandon the trade, even as they watched rates, oil and earnings risk more closely.

Berkshire Hathaway Shares Up After Greg Abel Makes $16.8 Billion Move

Berkshire Hathaway Shares Up After Greg Abel Makes $16.8 Billion Move

Berkshire Hathaway’s Class B stock ended Friday’s NYSE session at $488.13, gaining 1.98% for the day and finishing 2.9% higher than a week ago. The move puts the spotlight on Greg Abel, with investors asking if his early capital moves as CEO are shifting the trade now that Buffett is out front. The move was notable, with the rest of Wall Street sharply lower. The S&P 500 dropped 2.64% and the Nasdaq fell 4.18%. A strong May jobs report, the government’s monthly payroll growth figure, brought back worries that the Federal Reserve could keep policy tighter for longer. “The dam just broke today,” Carson Group chief market strategist Ryan Detrick said.

Alphabet Stock Is Slipping After a Huge AI Cash Call. Here’s What Traders Are Watching

Alphabet Stock Is Slipping After a Huge AI Cash Call. Here’s What Traders Are Watching

Alphabet’s Class A shares slipped in late-morning trade on Wednesday after the Google parent upsized and priced an $84.75 billion equity raise to fund its artificial-intelligence infrastructure buildout. GOOGL was down 0.8% at $359.04, while non-voting GOOG shares fell 0.9% to $355.32. The move matters because it turns Alphabet’s AI spending plans from a boardroom promise into a large call on shareholders. More stock can mean dilution — the risk that each current share represents a smaller claim on future profits — even if the cash helps Alphabet defend its search, cloud and AI positions.

Broadcom’s $280 Billion AI Rally Hits Key Test

Broadcom’s $280 Billion AI Rally Hits Key Test

Broadcom heads into Wednesday’s earnings after shares ran higher for four days. Traders have piled into custom AI chips and data-center networking plays, boosted this week by Alphabet’s $80 billion stock sale plan and a record move in Marvell Technology. Broadcom is due to post its fiscal Q2 numbers after the close, with a results call set for 5:00 p.m. ET, the company said. Timing is in play. Investors are shifting values for the companies making the hardware behind artificial intelligence: custom processors, optical connections, and switching chips that shuttle data through big server centers. Broadcom is part of that supply chain, tied to Google’s tensor processing units—custom AI chips built by Google together with external chipmakers.

Trump AI order gives OpenAI, Google and Anthropic 30 days on new models

Trump AI order gives OpenAI, Google and Anthropic 30 days on new models

Trump wants advanced U.S. AI models to go through a voluntary federal cyber-review, giving agencies up to 30 days to test new systems for security issues before they go to outside partners. The order tells top AI developers to let the government see some models early, as companies push to launch AI that could spot or exploit software bugs. AI’s shift into cyber operations has raised the stakes on timing. “Frontier models”—what the industry calls its strongest AI systems—are now rated on more than text and code generation. Companies are looking at whether these models can spot holes in critical infrastructure, including banks, hospitals and power grids, and other key systems countries depend on.

Dow, S&P inch up as AI surge faces $80 billion hurdle

U.S. stocks finished Tuesday little changed. The Dow picked up 149.01 points, or 0.29%, to 51,227.89. The S&P 500 was up 4.85 points, or 0.06%, at 7,604.81. The Nasdaq Composite slipped 13.96 points, or 0.05%, closing at 27,072.85. Buyers stuck with AI names, while companies with high spending needs and Middle East risk got less support. Tim Ghriskey, senior portfolio strategist at Ingalls & Snyder, said it was “a mixed market today.” AI excitement has been the main driver for markets, but attention is turning to who will pay for the data centers, servers and power behind it. Artificial intelligence, or AI, has pushed major indexes to records with its software and chip advances, but funding for the infrastructure is becoming a key question. “AI is in some cases, the only thing that’s working,” wrote John Belton, portfolio manager at Gabelli Funds, who said he wants more portfolio balance.

Asia Stocks Hold Up as AI Demand Lifts Sentiment, but Korea Signals Caution

Asia markets held firm Tuesday. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng jumped 2.28% and the Shanghai Composite added 0.43%, offsetting a 0.3% dip in Japan’s Nikkei 225. The AI trade continued to draw interest from buyers, even as Brent crude stayed near $94 and Middle East risks remained in play. Asia-Pacific markets are once again caught between rising AI spending and higher oil prices. Tech and chip shares have seen gains from AI, while inflation tied to oil has put pressure on airlines, consumers, and central banks. MSCI’s Asia-Pacific index outside Japan was up 0.4% after moving in both directions earlier. “This isn’t a re-rating of the AI trade; it’s profit-taking after a blistering run,” said Fabien Yip, market analyst at IG in Sydney.
