AI companies like Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta are seeing strong revenue growth but are also spending heavily on AI infrastructure, often burning through cash. Free cash flow, which measures cash left after operating expenses and capital investments, reveals which companies can finance their growth internally versus those relying on outside funding. Microsoft stands out with positive free cash flow, while others like Amazon and Alphabet show negative free cash flow, indicating heavy investment needs. Investors should focus on free cash flow trends and financial flexibility before buying AI stocks, as strong revenue alone doesn't guarantee sustainable profits.
