In June 2026, the U.S. market’s so-called “Magnificent Seven” wiped out a combined $2.3 trillion in market value as investors grew uneasy about massive AI capital spending. Microsoft slid 20%, Nvidia fell 13%, while Apple and Amazon each dropped about 8%.
Amazon, Microsoft, Google (Alphabet) and Meta have pledged tens of billions of dollars for AI chip purchases and data-center buildouts, with part of the funding coming from debt. Industry AI-related capital expenditure in 2026 is projected to reach $70 billion, up 70% year over year, pushing the group’s 12-month forward free cash flow expectations well below 2024 levels.
