Alphabet Loses $500 Billion as Investors Question AI Costs
Alphabet shares dropped sharply after investors worried about the huge costs of artificial intelligence.
Alphabet faces a tough crowd on Wall Street. The tech giant lost nearly $500 billion in value over a few days. Investors worry that building artificial intelligence costs too much money.
The company pours billions into new computer chips and data centers. Google leaders want to beat rivals like Microsoft in the race for smarter tech. But the huge bills make shareholders nervous about future profits.
Big investments can bring strong growth down the road. Still, the market wants proof that these new tools bring in real cash today. When profits look uncertain, stock prices drop fast.
