Alphabet lost a staggering amount of market cap today, reflecting investors’ negativity regarding its incredible spending on AI infrastructure. By contrast, Microsoft’s quarterly report was better received thanks in part to ongoing free cash flow. Tyler, Jon, and Matt talk about the two big reports, as well as some lesser-known companies downstream that are benefitting from massive AI infrastructure spend. Finally, the team closes discussing things from the world of mergers and acquisitions.
