Alphabet is seeking fresh capital as stock's 4-week losing streak tests investor appetite
Alphabet expects capex to reach up to $190 billion this year, double last year's spending, and the company is turning to investors to help fund its expansion.
AI Summary
Alphabet is seeking $85 billion in new capital to fund its artificial intelligence build‑out. The company’s stock has dropped for four consecutive weeks, its longest losing streak in over a year, after briefly surpassing Nvidia in market capitalization a month ago. The fresh financing would support infrastructure and the development of AI models aimed at competing with Anthropic and OpenAI. The move comes as investor sentiment toward Alphabet’s growth prospects grows more cautious.
