Google warns investors that its aggressive push into the AI buildout carries real financial risk. In a new filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Google says its expanding investments in AI infrastructure, new technologies and long-term commercial commitments could hurt earnings, increase liabilities and strain operations if returns fall short. The company says it is rapidly increasing spending beyond its core online advertising business, putting capital into new products, services and technologies across multiple industries. “Our increasing investment in new businesses, products, services, and technologies is inherently risky, and could divert management attention and harm our business,…

Billionaire investor Ray Dalio believes that central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are moving from theory to inevitability. In a new interview with Tucker Carlson, Dalio says CBDCs are likely coming, but warns their design could fundamentally change how money works for individuals, investors and governments. According to Dalio, the government will try to lure people into using CBDCs by offering interest. “There’s a great deal of appeal because of the fact that it’s easy and so on, and I think it’ll be done. If they’re not able to offer interest, and there will be a debate, probably they won’t be, then…
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is revealing more details about the rocketmaker’s abrupt shift in priorities from Mars to the Moon. Earlier this week, Musk said that SpaceX wants to build a self-growing city on the Moon first before expanding consciousness on Mars, a decision mostly driven by physics. In a new series of X posts, Musk adds that the priority shift is also driven by a sense of urgency amid concerns about potential extinction-level events. “The priority shift is because I’m worried that a natural or man-made catastrophe stops the resupply ships coming from Earth, causing the colony to die…
The CEO of a cloud-based data processing and analysis platform says the company is thriving as the market grapples with fears that AI will disrupt the software-as-a-service (SaaS) sector. In a new post on X, Databricks chief executive Ali Ghodsi says his company’s business has been accelerating quarter after quarter, even as investors debate whether AI will hollow out traditional software models. Ghodsi says the obvious answer is AI, but the real driver is not simple automation or cost-cutting. “I now constantly get questions about the SaaS meltdown, role of AI, system of records etc. I don’t have an answer…
A senior Morgan Stanley portfolio manager says sentiment on Wall Street may be signaling that the stock market is primed for a letdown. In a new CNBC interview, Andrew Slimmon says earnings projections and growth assumptions are creating conditions where the market ultimately falls short of investor expectations. “But what does worry me is that we have high earnings estimates so far. They’ve come through a high GDP outlook. Wall Street’s pretty bullish on the year. That’s a dangerous concoction that is ripe for some disappointment at some points. Not a reason to run out and sell stocks, but usually…
An investor who accurately called the 2008 housing market collapse believes that OpenAI has once again received a direct hit from Google. In a new podcast episode, Steve Eisman says Alphabet (GOOGL) dipped last week after investors got jittery about its $180 billion allocation for AI CapEx this year. But Eisman says OpenAI should be the one paying very close attention to Google. “The company that should be really nervous about Google’s huge CapEx guidance is OpenAI, which is private. The AI-LLM competition has become an arms race. How is OpenAI going to compete with Google when the CapEx numbers…
JPMorgan sees room for US stocks to climb further this year, but says the path to a true melt-up depends on whether growth spreads beyond a narrow slice of the market. Speaking in a new CNBC interview, JPMorgan Private Bank co-head of global investment strategy Stephen Parker lays out what separates the firm’s base-case outlook for the S&P 500 from its more aggressive bull-case scenario. Parker says JPMorgan’s base case assumes solid earnings growth, but little help from valuations. Under that view, the S&P 500 delivers high single-digit returns, landing roughly in the 7,200 to 7,400 range. But Parker says…
Traders at banking giant Goldman Sachs warn that the sell-off in the S&P 500 is likely to extend after the index tripped a bearish trigger. Goldman’s trading desk says the S&P 500 has breached a key short-term trigger that prompted Commodity Trading Advisers (CTAs) to dump their holdings, Bloomberg reports. According to Goldman, CTAs are trend-following algorithmic funds that focus on market direction rather than fundamentals, and a renewed drop could systemically set off a $33 billion sell-off. If the S&P 500 plummets to 6,707, Goldman says the funds could dump as much as $80 billion over the next month.…
Renowned short-seller Jim Chanos says he has come up with a simple strategy on how to approach the AI trade. In a new Risk Reversal Media interview, Chanos says the AI trade has quietly split into two very different categories, and investors should be careful which side they’re on. “So the thing we’ve been saying to simplify our thought process on this is if you want to play AI, you want to be long the people who are producing the magic from the chips. You don’t want to be long where the chips reside.” Chanos says many companies now marketed…
The founder and CEO of Altimeter Capital says a convergence of AI and space could unlock a wave of demand across both retail and institutional investors. In a new episode of the All-In Podcast, Brad Gerstner says SpaceX’s merger with xAI has positioned the rocketmaker to capture the two largest markets in existence. “Well, let’s just stick with what we know. SpaceX is merging with xAI. You’re merging the two biggest TAMs (total addressable markets) in the world. All of artificial intelligence and all of space together with the world’s greatest entrepreneur.” Gerstner points to comments recently made by Elon…
