Big Tech companies, including Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft, are planning to spend over $740 billion on capital expenditures this year, primarily for AI infrastructure. However, investor confidence is waning due to negative free cash flow reports and concerns about the sustainability of these investments. The Nasdaq fell 2.9% as a result of these anxieties, particularly affecting chip stocks.
