There'll be a negative reaction from the stocks, just like we saw this week from Google," Reyle said.</p><p>"I think the real trick will be, one of these guys is going to finally say 'enough's enough' and they will finally cut back on spending," he added. "And guess what? Their stock price will react positively to that."</p><p>To that point, Reyle noted that Apple, which has avoided massive AI spending, has seen its stock rise more than 20% this year. </p></body>
