The recent earnings reports of tech giants such as Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Apple have revealed a disappointment in the growth of their AI initiatives. While the companies have made significant investments in artificial intelligence, the monetization of these investments is yet to be seen.
Microsoft's Azure growth fell short of expectations, causing a decline in its stock price. Similarly, Alphabet's impressive financials did not prevent a 5% drop in its stock value.
Amazon experienced a rare revenue miss, causing a 7% decrease in its stock price. On the other hand, Apple exceeded sales and profit expectations, with CEO Tim Cook emphasizing their integration of AI into their core business.
The success of these tech giants depends on device sales and subscription services, as they face pressure to catch up to Microsoft and Google in the AI race. Investors and analysts are now questioning when the massive AI investments will start to generate revenue.
Despite the recent setbacks, analysts expect a rebound in the growth of the cloud and AI segments in the future.
