Meta packages customer data, gleaned from its application ecosystem and sells ads to digital advertisers. While the firm has been investing heavily in its Reality Labs business, it remains a very small part of Meta's overall sales.

Oracle's stock has plummeted 64% from its September peak despite strong business fundamentals, including 21% revenue growth and a massive $638 billion backlog. However, the company has taken on nearly $130 billion in debt (300% debt-to-equity ratio) to build AI data centers, with roughly $300 billion of its backlog dependent on a single customer: OpenAI. OpenAI's severe unprofitability ($21 billion in losses against $13 billion in sales) and delayed IPO raise concerns about its ability to pay Oracle, making this a risky investment despite attractive valuations.

While Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta plan combined capital spending exceeding $700 billion in 2026 primarily for AI infrastructure, Apple spent only $12.7 billion in fiscal 2025. Apple's hybrid model relies on renting third-party cloud capacity rather than building its own data centers, allowing it to generate record free cash flow while maintaining accelerating revenue growth. The strategy's success depends on sustained access to affordable third-party computing capacity as AI becomes increasingly critical to device purchases.

AMD is gaining ground in the AI chip market with major partnerships including deals with Anthropic, Microsoft Azure, OpenAI, and Meta, plus securing workloads from Turing.

The Federal Reserve under Kevin Warsh warned that prolonged above-target inflation could entrench inflation expectations, potentially triggering a wage-price spiral. Drawing parallels to the 1970s crisis that required Paul Volcker's painful 20% rate hikes, the article suggests the Fed may need to raise rates before year-end despite risks to the debt-fueled AI sector and stock market valuations.

Both Microsoft and Meta are down significantly in 2026 despite being major AI hyperscalers. Meta faces investor concerns about its massive AI spending without clear monetization or a breakthrough model, similar to its metaverse losses. Microsoft, however, is executing well with $37 billion in AI annual revenue run rate and a thriving cloud business. The analyst recommends Microsoft as the better buy due to its proven AI strategy, strong cloud segment, and attractive valuation relative to execution risk.
