Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft are doing their part to drive $200B in AI-related capital expenditures for 2024. They’ll get some of that back in generative AI cloud workloads, but they’ve got a ways to go. Bill Mann and Matt Argersinger discuss how AI demand is refueling cloud growth at Amazon and Alphabet, but why there’s still some reason to be concerned about the sustainability of that spend, Apple continuing to run counter to the rest of big tech with their AI strategy and cap ex approach, and Reddit’s first-ever quarterly profit, Atlassian getting its mojo back, and why the red-hot weight loss market didn’t turn into great quarterly results for Eli Lilly. This was recorded ahead of the 2024 election: so David Gardner offered up his advice for how to keep calm with your portfolio and mindset while the news cycle turned during election week. Then, 34 minutes in, Bill and Matt break down two stocks on their radar for very different reasons: eBay and Super Micro Computer. Stocks discussed: AMZN, GOOG, GOOGL, AAPL, RDDT, TEAM, LLY, EBAY, SMCI. Host - Dylan Lewis; Guests - Bill Mann, Matt Argersinger, David Gardner
