Google parent Alphabet will be added to the Dow Jones Industrial Average beginning Monday, the index’s operator, S&P Global, said Tuesday. The company represents the fifth of the so-called Magnificent Seven growth stocks to enter the price-weighted index, which has historically been less vulnerable to tech swings than the Nasdaq Composite Index or the S&P 500. “Adding Alphabet will broaden and strengthen the DJIA’s exposure to these dynamic areas of the U.S. economy,” S&P said in a written statement.

If you follow Amazon.com (AMZN) stock, you’ve heard the main worry. The company is spending a fortune to build out its artificial intelligence infrastructure, and with the stock having trailed the index over the past year, investors are clearly nervous about the size of the bill.

Alphabet Selloff Deepens as Market Demands Proof on AI Returns

It wouldn't be wrong to at least consider the possibility that recent weakness from the market's leading artificial intelligence stocks could mark the beginning of something more serious.

Technology companies are spending big to incorporate artificial intelligence into their businesses and to build huge data centers. Investors who had jumped on the bandwagon appear to be having second thoughts. Just four companies — Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms and Microsoft — plan to spend up to $720 billion this year, primarily on AI data centers.

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is the rare mega-cap where the bear case centers on valuation rather than business quality: the stock got ahead of itself. After a sharp drawdown from $551.05 in 2025 to today’s level, the math has reset. Our model says the setup now favors patient buyers. Microsoft trades at $367.34. Our 24/7 Wall St. ...

Saturna Capital Chief Investment Officer Scott Klimo joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the Saturna Global Equity ETF, the principles of Shariah-compliant investing, and how the rapid growth of artificial intelligence is reshaping valuations and opportunities across global markets. Klimo explained that the actively managed ETF applies Islamic investment guidelines that exclude sectors such as conventional banking, insurance, gambling, tobacco, alcohol, and weapons. In addition to those sector screens, the strategy also emphasizes companies with low debt levels, a factor Klimo said can signal strong cash generation, disciplined capital allocation, and durable business models. The conversation also focused on the impact of AI on technology investing. Klimo noted that major technology companies such as Alphabet, Amazon, and Microsoft are evolving from traditionally asset-light businesses into far more capital-intensive operators as they commit massive sums to AI infrastructure, data centers, and compute capacity. Beyond the large-cap AI leaders, Klimo highlighted a broader group of companies benefiting from the AI buildout, including ASML, Taiwan Semiconductor, Samsung Electronics, and Japan’s Fujikura, all of which play important roles in chip manufacturing, semiconductor equipment, and data-center connectivity. The discussion also touched on the pharmaceutical sector, where Klimo sees long-term value despite recent market weakness. He said healthcare companies can provide portfolio balance and defensive characteristics, even as investors continue to weigh regulatory uncertainty and shifting sentiment toward the sector. Looking at the broader market backdrop, Klimo pointed to continued geopolitical uncertainty, inflation trends, and energy prices as important factors to monitor. At the same time, he said he remains generally constructive on the market outlook, supported by resilient corporate earnings and the long-term productivity gains expected from AI adoption. #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews #SaturnaCapital #ShariahInvesting #ArtificialIntelligence #ETFInvesting #GlobalEquities #TechInvesting #AIInfrastructure #Semiconductors #HealthcareStocks #MarketOutlook

The company is spending at an unprecedented scale to win in AI, but for investors, the path to a payoff is less clear than the price tag.

The market is undervaluing these three AI stocks.

Chevron (CVX) and Microsoft (MSFT) announced a 20-year power purchase agreement on June 22 to build a natural gas-fired power plant in West Texas dedicated to supplying electricity to a Microsoft data center campus. The project, named Project Kilby, sits on more than 2,000 acres in Reeves County ...

Microsoft may be trying to carve out its own path in AI. Microsoft started the month with the launch of its own AI models designed to power target corporate use cases at a much lower cost than the frontier models proffered by OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella has also become critical of the doomer messaging used by some of the company’s key rivals in the AI race.

Bearish price action in Microsoft stock could indicate further weakness ahead, in which case a bear call spread could work well.

During an interview with CNBC, Reitzes said that Nadella’s comments suggest that Microsoft’s strategy with respect to AI is still occurring on the fly.

Stocks could be facing the end-of-quarter reckoning many investors feared when Elon Musk’s SpaceX unveiled plans for its multibillion-dollar initial public offering and Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh took over the central bank’s policy reigns earlier this month. The early signs of a late June “tech wreck” started to formulate Monday, with Google parent Alphabet shedding more than $225 billion in market value, its biggest slump in more than a year, and SpaceX extending its three-day decline to more than $600 billion. Shares in SpaceX were falling 4.3% in premarket trading Tuesday, putting them below $150 a share.

Micron Technology's stock has risen by almost 9x over the past twelve months, taking its market capitalization above $1.2 trillion - among the largest single-year gains in the company's four-decade trading history. The rally is driven by surging demand and a shortage of high-bandwidth memory that is used alongside AI accelerators in data centers. Hyperscalers, including Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOG), and Meta (META), are projected to spend roughly $700 billion on AI infrastructure this year,

Single-day corrections concentrate the mind, even more so when the slide comes amid a doubling of a tech-focused index replete with the kind of giant chip stocks that have powered U.S. markets to record highs over most of the year. “The session had three things working against it simultaneously,” said Koen Hoorelbeke, investment and options strategist at Saxo Bank. In short, it’s become the index to watch in this year’s global chips race, with SK Hynix and Samsung booking triple-digit gains and old-school car maker Hyundai —which is now verging into chip design through its Hyundai Mobis division—rising more than 70%.

SpaceX (SPCX) stock is falling from its initial hype, coming off three straight days of losses amid the wider tech sector sell-off.
