Tech Giants Slip: The Magnificent Seven Hit a Dreadful Year
The so‑called Magnificent Seven have faltered after peaking in May, dropping more than 13% as AI-related capex pressures cash flow and raises funding costs.

Analysts say AI infrastructure spending needs to translate into near‑term profits, or the group may stay under pressure through the upcoming earnings season.
