What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Intel plunged 28.6% on October 30, 2026, a decline following a retreat in hedge-fund exposure. Both Intel and Amazon faced investor scrutiny after their earnings reports, driven by concerns over the financial burden of building AI infrastructure. Amazon reported negative free cash flow of $42.4 billion over the preceding 12 months and noted further increases in AI spending.

The market is questioning whether massive investments in AI will translate into meaningful returns, particularly as companies face high expectations.
