Google’s $185B AI spending bet spooks investors even as Gemini hits 750 million users

Alphabet’s stock dropped 3% after the Google parent revealed plans to spend up to $185 billion this year. That’s a steep jump, putting its AI spending spree back in the spotlight despite strong growth in major AI products. https://www.reuters.com/business/google-goes-laggard-leader-it-pulls-ahead-openai-with-stellar-ai-growth-2026-02-05/?utm_source=chatgpt.com This surge is crucial since investors no longer see AI as a distant gamble but as a necessary expense that must deliver results. Major tech companies are funneling billions into data centers and chip development, while markets grow impatient with empty assurances.

Why Infineon just added €500 million to its 2026 investment plan for AI data centres

On Wednesday, Infineon bumped up its planned investment for fiscal 2026 by roughly €500 million, bringing the total to €2.7 billion. The boost targets expanding manufacturing capacity for chips powering AI data centers. The German chipmaker expects AI-related revenue to climb to around €2.5 billion in fiscal 2027, up from approximately €1.5 billion this year. This shift highlights how rapidly expanding AI infrastructure is disrupting the chip supply chain, putting pressure on power conversion and control components as data-centre operators ramp up capacity. For Europe’s chipmakers, traditionally focused on industrial and automotive sectors, AI-driven spending offers a cushion against weaker demand in other areas.

Waymo’s $16B raise plan: Alphabet backs $110B valuation as safety scrutiny returns

Waymo is aiming to raise roughly $16 billion in a funding round that could push its valuation close to $110 billion, Bloomberg News reported, citing sources familiar with the plans. Alphabet is expected to contribute about $13 billion, while the remainder would come from investors like Sequoia Capital, DST Global, and Dragoneer Investment Group. Waymo declined to comment on private financial details but emphasized its focus on “safety-led operational excellence” amid rising demand. The size of the proposed cheque matters—driverless taxi services aren’t cheap to operate. Cars cost money, mapping costs money, and regulators don’t cut fees just because there’s no driver behind the wheel.

OpenAI’s Altman shops for $50 billion in Middle East funding as $830 billion valuation talk surfaces

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has been in talks with major Middle Eastern investors about a potential funding round that could reach $50 billion, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday, citing sources close to the discussions. According to the report, OpenAI is targeting a valuation in the range of $750 billion to $830 billion. Source If it goes through, this round would be one of the biggest private fundraisings out there, reinforcing a trend we've seen for months: Gulf investors moving beyond minority stakes and diving into the core of AI—think power, chips, and data centers that run these models. For OpenAI, it’s also a proving ground to see if investors will keep opening their wallets as the cost of “compute” keeps rising.

Foldable iPhone Rumors Heat Up as Apple Faces Fresh Regulation Pressure: What AAPL Investors Need to Know (Dec. 22, 2025)

Apple’s foldable iPhone narrative is gaining momentum again—but Dec. 22 headlines on App Store regulation in Italy and China operations add new risks for AAPL investors. Apple’s next “big thing” is back in the spotlight: a foldable iPhone that—if it arrives as widely expected—could kick off a new upgrade cycle and give Wall Street a fresh growth story to model. But today’s news flow isn’t only about product hype. Two separate developments out of Europe and China underline the non-product risks that still shape Apple’s outlook: regulators are escalating scrutiny of App Store practices, and China remains central to both sales and operations.
