US AI hyperscalers face financial strain amid rising CapEx and leverage, sparking risk concerns.

Leading US AI companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, and Amazon are driving economic growth with heavy capital spending. However, their rapid investment and financial moves, including Alphabet's $80 billion equity raise and unclear AI spending reports, raise concerns about systemic risks if these firms falter. The author has exited AI-focused stocks, shifting to safer assets like dividend ETFs, gold, and inflation-protected bonds to reduce risk exposure. This cautious stance reflects worries about a potential bubble similar to past market excesses.

Among the hyperscalers mentioned, Amazon shows the strongest buying interest on Pluang with 72% buy orders, while Meta faces heavy selling at 82%. Alphabet's shares trade near $352.20 with a slight 0.78% decline. These dynamics highlight mixed investor sentiment as of Sep 23, 2026 04:31 WIB.
