Apple shares closed up 1.5% at $310.03 while the Nasdaq-100 index fell 2%, making Apple the top performer among major tech stocks. A Wall Street Journal report revealed that big tech firms like Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft have committed nearly $3 trillion in future AI spending not reflected on their balance sheets, causing investor concern. Apple, which does not have such off-balance-sheet AI obligations, is viewed as a safer investment amid rising costs and risks tied to AI infrastructure spending. This dynamic highlights Apple's counter-cyclical position in the tech sector, contrasting with companies like Meta that saw significant stock declines due to their large AI commitments. Investors will watch upcoming earnings, especially NVIDIA's, to gauge the impact of AI capital expenditure worries on the sector.
