Big tech earnings show AI spending isn't slowing down despite the recent semiconductor drop

Big tech earnings show AI spending isn't slowing down despite the recent semiconductor drop

Semiconductor stocks took a hit in July, with the SOXX ETF dropping 23% from its highs. But recent earnings from big tech show they are still spending heavily on AI infrastructure. Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Oracle are projecting around $830 billion in capital expenditures this year. Amazon and Google even raised their future spending targets. Cloud revenue growth is also accelerating across the board. Amazon cloud grew 37%, Microsoft Azure 43%, and Google Cloud 82%. The CEOs all mentioned that demand for compute power is still outpacing supply. It looks like the AI hardware build-out is continuing steadily despite the recent sell-off in chip stocks.

Yeah, that semiconductor sell-off looks pretty interesting when you compare it with what Big Tech is actually saying. If cloud growth is accelerating and demand for compute is still ahead of supply, the AI infrastructure build-out probably isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

those spending figures from oracle and amazon are just staggering. it really shows how much they believe in this technology.

The recent pullback hasn't changed the bigger picture, AI infrastructure spending remains strong, and demand for compute capacity continues to support the long-term investment case.

honestly the dip in chip stocks feels like a bit of a disconnect when Google is growing that fast. it seems like a good time to keep an eye on things.
