The technology sector is facing a severe valuation reset as investor sentiment turns hostile toward high-spending AI giants. Alphabet (GOOGL) is experiencing its worst day in corporate history, plummeting as the company admits that its new AI Search mode generates lower monetization than traditional ads. Simultaneously, Intel (INTC) has collapsed 25% after announcing a massive $23 billion equity raise and reporting a $600 million revenue loss due to factory issues, while Amazon (AMZN) fell 7% on negative free cash flow. This coordinated sell-off signals a broad rejection of the current AI capital expenditure model, pressuring the entire semiconductor and cloud infrastructure supply chain.
