  • Alphabet shares rise as Meta falls amid increased AI capital spending
    April 30, 2026, 11:16 AM EDT. Alphabet's stock jumped over 5% after reporting strong Q1 earnings and raising capital expenditure (capex) expectations to $180-$190 billion for AI and cloud expansion. Google Cloud revenue surged 63% year-over-year, fueling investor optimism. By contrast, Meta's shares tumbled 10% despite beating Q1 earnings estimates and lifting its capex forecast to $125-$145 billion, citing higher component costs and data center expenses. Meta lacks a cloud business to monetize AI investments, prompting Wall Street skepticism about its ability to deliver returns. Analyst Matt Britzman noted mixed investor reactions, underlining that AI spending cycles remain intense across tech giants. Microsoft also boosted capex guidance, signaling industry-wide commitment to AI infrastructure despite investor caution.
