Big Tech's AI Spending Spree
Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft are doing their part to drive $200B in AI-related capital expenditures for 2024. They’ll get some of that back in generative AI cloud workloads, but they’ve got a ways to go.
(00:42) Bill Mann and Matt Argersinger discuss:
- How AI demand is refueling cloud growth at Amazon and Alphabet, but why there’s still some reason to be concerned about the sustainability of that spend.
- Apple continuing to run counter to the rest of big tech with their AI strategy and cap ex approach.
- Reddit’s first-ever quarterly profit, Atlassian getting its mojo back, and why the red-hot weight loss market didn’t turn into great quarterly results for Eli Lilly.
(19:02) Ahead of the 2024 election, David Gardner offers up his advice for how to keep calm with your portfolio and mindset while the news cycle turns next week.
(34:37) Bill and Matt break down two stocks on their radar for very different reasons: eBay and Super Micro Computer.
Stocks discussed: AMZN, GOOG, GOOGL, AAPL, RDDT, TEAM, LLY, EBAY, SMCI.
