The technology sector is experiencing a significant downturn, largely driven by Alphabet's (GOOGL) third-quarter earnings and revenue miss announced late yesterday. [4, 5, 10, 21] The company's stock plunged over 10% as investors reacted to the shortfalls and expressed concerns about soaring capital expenditures related to AI development, which led to negative free cash flow. [4, 10, 12] This has shifted investor focus to profitability and cash generation in the AI space. Adding to the negative sentiment were earnings misses from other software companies like ServiceNow (NOW), contributing to a broader sell-off across the tech industry. [5, 12]
