Tech's megacaps announced major increases in capex for 2026, with the four hyperscalers now expecting combined spending of close to $700 billion. Reaching those numbers is going to mean a big drop in free cash flow, with Amazon projected to turn negative this year.
Risk-off sentiment is driving sharp sell-offs in Bitcoin and major software stocks, with investors reallocating away from stretched tech valuations.
