Heavy AI Spending Hit Tech Shares. Household Bills Were Not Reset.

U.S. technology shares fell again as October ended, after several large firms reported heavy artificial-intelligence spending alongside results that disappointed investors. BBC reported that Intel dropped 28% on Friday and that Alphabet fell another 1.4% after losing more than $500 billion of market value in Thursday’s 12% decline. Alphabet said its AI summaries were affecting search advertising, while still planning to spend as much as $205 billion this year.

CNBC reported that Amazon kept a $220 billion capital-spending forecast and had $42.4 billion of outflows over the trailing twelve months. Amazon shares finished Friday down 1.4%. The Nasdaq ended October with its worst monthly slide since March 2025, although BBC said the index was still up 7.8% from a year earlier.

No household electricity rate, loan rate, or retail price was reset by these share moves. The spending plans also do not show that AI investment has stopped.
