Alphabet's shares dropped 8% due to concerns over slowing cloud growth and a planned $75 billion capital expenditure, reflecting investor anxiety over rising AI costs in Big Tech. The company reported a 30% increase in cloud revenue for the quarter, below previous growth and market expectations, prompting fears of a significant shift towards a capital-intensive AI business model. This news negatively impacted Alphabet's market value, which could reach a loss of $180 billion if the trend continues.
