A sharp divergence is emerging in mega-cap tech: Microsoft has fallen 6% on reports of AI execution failures, while Berkshire Hathaway has deployed $10 billion into Alphabet, making it its third-largest holding. This signals institutional confidence in Alphabet's AI infrastructure and search dominance despite broader tech volatility, highlighting a rotation within the MAG7 group. A US federal jury has found Apple liable for patent infringement regarding its Taptic Engine, resulting in a $5.7 billion fine. This is a significant legal setback for Apple, impacting its hardware margins and setting a precedent for future design patents. The ruling may pressure Apple's stock in the short term as investors assess the financial and operational implications.
