Alphabet and Tesla slide as AI spending swells in earnings reports

The selloff reflects investor focus on higher quarterly spending tied to AI investments, even as both companies were delivering results.

Shares of Alphabet and Tesla fell after their latest quarterly reports showed sharp increases in spending tied to AI initiatives, according to CNBC Markets.

CNBC World and CNBC Earnings also pointed to the same setup, noting that investors appeared to be weighing the pace of AI-related spending against the companies' growth outlook.

The reaction underscored that, for Wall Street, near-term results may matter less than how quickly AI investment translates into future performance.
