What stands out

Bloomberg guests flagged a chill running through the AI-fueled tech rally after Alphabet plunged 13 percent on a sales miss and Microsoft moved to raise at least $25B with an investment-grade bond sale. The segment focused on whether heavy AI spending will justify those valuations, and flagged Amazon and Intel as near-term reporting events that could widen the gap between hype and earnings. The most striking part of the clip was how quickly investor confidence shifted when two cornerstone names flashed trouble, turning a broad rally into a headline-driven selloff.
