The $600 billion wave of AI ‘capex’ growth boosting stocks is about to slow down, analysts warn

Tech stock futures were up this morning—contracts for the Nasdaq 100 were up 0.22% prior to the opening bell in New York—after a fistful of tech companies said they would increase their capital expenditures on AI, promising a vast wave of cash big enough to effect U.S. GDP growth. S&P 500 futures were up 0.19% this morning, too.

The only bad news? Some analysts have begun to warn that the pace of capex growth will start to slow down this year and next.
