AI trade hit as investors fret about runaway tech spending

The selloff trimmed about $890 billion in value from the Magnificent Seven on Thursday, reflecting renewed caution about artificial-intelligence spending plans.

Investors are focusing on concerns about runaway technology spending, and that shift has weighed on the so-called AI trade, according to the WSJ Markets.

The outlet said the worry about artificial-intelligence-related expenditures shaved roughly $890 billion in market value from the Magnificent Seven on Thursday.

The pullback points to a broader reassessment of how quickly AI spending will translate into returns, as investors look for more evidence that spending levels are sustainable.
