June rout: Magnificent 7 wipe out about $2.3 trillion on AI spending bets
The Magnificent 7—Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Apple, Meta, Tesla, and Amazon—lost roughly $2.3 trillion in June as investors grew wary of the giants’ heavy AI-driven infrastructure spending, much funded by debt. Nvidia fell about 13%, Microsoft around 20%, and Apple and Amazon about 8% for the month. Despite the broad losses, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose roughly 6%, reflecting ongoing demand and supply constraints in the chip sector. Investors are cautious ahead of the second‑quarter earnings season starting in July, watching how AI investments translate into results and cash flow, while memory shortages push some component prices higher.
