Big Tech stocks enter the coming week with two forces pulling in opposite directions: a seasonal tailwind from the year-end “Santa Claus rally” window, and a growing market debate over whether the AI buildout is delivering returns fast enough to justify the spending.

Semiconductor stocks head into the Christmas week with a familiar mix of tailwinds and tripwires: accelerating AI and data-center buildouts on one side, and renewed investor anxiety about the cost (and financing) of that buildout on the other.
