Could Big Tech AI be 'plateauing' in 2026?

D.A. Davidson head of technology research Gil Luria joins Morning Brief to discuss the current demand picture in tech, focusing on AI and its evolving market dynamics. "If you're starting to look at Nvidia (NVDA), who's reporting Wednesday after the close, this year is going to be great," Luria says. "The fourth quarter will absolutely be a huge record, and the rest of this year is pretty secure in terms of what their largest customers are going to spend." "It's really next year that you have to start thinking about if Microsoft (MSFT) is plateauing, if Amazon's (AMZN) plateauing. If Google (GOOG, GOOGL) starts talking about that later this year, Meta (META) may start talking about the fact that they're at a good run rate, then we may not be able to deliver the growth investors are expecting for next year," Luria adds. Additionally, Luria notes a shift in focus regarding rotating into software-oriented companies, highlighting a growing interest in infrastructure companies like Snowflake (SNOW) and Datadog (DDOG) due to their pivotal role in delivering AI applications.

Apple, Microsoft, Palantir: Market Minute

Host Josh Lipton provides the latest stock developments in today's Market Minute. Apple (AAPL) has unveiled plans for a massive $500 billion investment in the United States over the next four years. The initiative includes new manufacturing facilities in Texas and is expected to generate more than 20,000 jobs across the country. In the tech sector, TD Cowen analysts report that Microsoft (MSFT) has terminated several of its data center lease agreements. Analysts suggest this move could indicate a potential oversupply situation developing in the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure market. Meanwhile, Palantir (PLTR) shares continue to tumble amid growing investor concerns about possible Pentagon budget reductions that could impact the company's future revenue.

How Microsoft's data center slowdown could influence Big Tech

Microsoft's (MSFT) recent decision to slow down its data center investments has sparked conversations about the broader tech industry's future, especially in relation to artificial intelligence (AI). The company has been a key player in data center expansion, notably accelerating its capital expenditures (CapEx) after the breakthrough of ChatGPT in late 2022. Gil Luria, D.A. Davidson's head of technology research, joins Morning Brief hosts Brad Smith and Seana Smith to discuss the implications of this slowdown. "What they're telling us now ... is that maybe they've gotten to a level that they can just sustain and plateau at ... it makes sense that they're reevaluating the portfolio of investments and starting to moderate it." Luria notes that Microsoft's shift in spending "will then cause other mega caps, especially the hyperscalers, to reconsider their plans."
