Despite AMD reporting over 80% growth in Radeon sales, the broader semiconductor sector is underperforming, with Micron, Intel, and Dell showing weakness. Analysts attribute this to data center demand concerns and a rotation away from high-multiple tech names. This divergence suggests investors are taking profits in semis while buying into the broader market rally, a signal that the tech leadership may be fracturing. Datadog reported a 35% year-over-year revenue increase and raised full-year guidance, signaling continued strong demand for cloud observability tools. Concurrently, Google has agreed to backstop a $19 billion lease for Terawulf if Anthropic defaults, providing critical financing security for AI infrastructure plays. These developments highlight that while broad tech is shaky, specific AI/Cloud infrastructure names are seeing robust capital allocation.
