What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Concerns over the scale of capital expenditure on artificial intelligence by major technology companies have led to trillions of dollars being wiped off their combined market valuation. Alphabet reported Q3 2026 diluted earnings per share fell 26.1% year-on-year to $2.12, missing analyst forecasts. Separately, Google's parent company shares tumbled more than 12% on one day, erasing roughly half a trillion in market value.
