What happened

U.S. stocks fell sharply on Friday as weak quarterly results from Amazon and Intel raised concerns about the cost of artificial intelligence spending and when it might pay off. The Nasdaq fell 2.9%, while technology and chip stocks also dropped. The decline followed earlier pressure on major technology companies.

Global impact / market context

Investors are questioning whether heavy spending on AI infrastructure will bring returns soon enough to justify its cost. When expected costs rise or results disappoint, investors may sell related shares, adding pressure across technology and chip stocks.

What to watch

  1. Check Amazon’s next updates on AI spending, because higher planned costs helped raise concerns.
  2. Check Intel’s next updates on cash use, because its warning added to worries about AI costs.
  3. Check whether technology and chip stocks keep falling or stabilize, because the selloff spread across both groups.
