Here are investors' burning AI questions with tech earnings around the corner
Big Tech companies are soon going to let investors know if all the hype is still worth it. Amid tariff turmoil and market uncertainty, the tech trade continues to power the S&P 500 higher. With mega-cap tech earnings due to kick off later this month, investors are looking for clues to know if the AI-fueled momentum can keep powering stocks higher. The launch of DeepSeek—a cost-efficient AI model from a startup in China—was an "existential moment" for the AI trade, according to Eric Sheridan, co-business unit leader of the TMT group at Goldman Sachs. "There's an increasing focus on the payoff or the return dynamic," Sheridan told Business Insider. "How are we seeing enterprises use AI? How are we seeing consumers adopt AI applications in their day-to-day life? Is AI technology delivering on its promise of increasing productivity and profit margins? Investors will soon be turning to second-quarter earnings season for answers. Will AI capex continue to soar? Big Tech companies have poured billions into building out AI infrastructure, and there's a lot of debate on Wall Street about how much more companies can spend. As of February, Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta 's total AI investment for 2025 was over $300 billion, a notable increase from the $246 billion spent in 2024. Competition in the AI space is fierce as Big Tech companies race to develop better large language models. And it's still early stages, meaning that this level of capital expenditure could persist well into the future. "There's still pretty low visibility into what they're going to spend next year," Sheridan said of the Big Tech companies. "I wouldn't put a high probability on a slowdown," he added. Are companies putting AI to work? A lot of money and effort is being poured into AI tools for companies, but investors want a clearer sign of what it all means. Investors will look for clues on earnings calls that AI adoption is accelerating. They're not just interested in whether Nvidia beats consensus expectations; they're also looking for more widespread adoption of AI among other companies. Investors have reasons to be optimistic, as there have been green shoots in previous months. The earliest signs of AI adoption have been showing up primarily in the software industry as companies adopt agentic AI to complete tasks autonomously. According to Bank of America, earnings calls of Russell 2000 companies have mentioned AI more frequently over the last few quarters. This quarter's earnings season will be key to determining whether the trend holds. In June, Bank of America identified software winners, including Microsoft, Salesforce, and ServiceNow. The bank expects monetization to begin taking off in 2026. For Big Tech, the pressure is on to show strong software margins. "We think the AI backdrop is a big stimulant for the cloud computing businesses on the revenue side," Sheridan said. "And we'll be looking for some proof points around that through earnings season as well." Can savings from AI offset tariff headwinds? First-quarter earnings were stronger than expected despite uncertainty related to tariffs. That's mostly thanks to Big Tech, and investors are watching to see if the sector can continue to lead to outperformance again. Nadia Lovell, senior US equity strategist at UBS Global Wealth Management, believes AI will continue to be the primary driver of earnings growth across the S&P 500. "Yes, there might be vulnerability, but we need to focus on those secular and structural growth stories, like AI power and resources," Lovell said at the bank's roundtable on July 8. Tariffs are putting extra pressure on the AI trade, as investors are worried about higher import costs eating into company margins. Could AI use cases provide a shield against tariff headwinds? Jeremy Siegel, Wharton professor and senior economist at WisdomTree, thinks firms need to start showing investors that they're putting AI to use, especially as tariffs drag on consumer sentiment. "I think they're going to have to do it very soon, facing some of these tariff price increases," Siegel said on CNBC on Friday.

US senators warn Nvidia CEO about upcoming China trip
A bipartisan pair of U.S. senators sent a letter to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Friday about an upcoming trip to China, warning the CEO to refrain from meeting with companies that are suspected of undermining U.S. chip export controls. The letter from Republican Senator Jim Banks and Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren asked Huang to also abstain from meeting with representatives of companies that are working with the People's Republic of China's military or intelligence bodies. The senators also asked Huang to refrain from meeting with entities named on the U.S. restricted export list. "We are worried that your trip to the PRC could legitimize companies that cooperate closely with the Chinese military or involve discussing exploitable gaps in U.S. export controls," the senators wrote. Huang planned to visit China on Friday. An Nvidia spokesperson said, "American wins" when its technology sets "the global standard," and that China has one of the largest bodies of software developers in the world. AI software "should run best on the U.S. technology stack, encouraging nations worldwide to choose America," the spokesperson said. In May at the Computex trade show in Taipei, Huang praised President Donald Trump's decision to scrap some artificial intelligence chip export controls and described the prior diffusion rules as a failure. U.S. restrictions in April on AI chips Nvidia modified to comply with export controls to China would reduce Nvidia's revenue by $15 billion, the CEO said. The hardware necessary to power advanced AI is now subject to a bipartisan consensus related to the free export of such hardware, the senators wrote. Advanced AI hardware could "accelerate the PRC's effort to modernize its military," the letter reads. U.S. lawmakers have grown increasingly concerned about efforts to circumvent export controls to China and proposed a law that would force AI chip companies to verify the location of their products. Last month, Reuters reported that a senior U.S. official said the AI firm DeepSeek is aiding China's military and intelligence operations, and sought to use shell companies to circumvent U.S. AI chip export controls to China. Nvidia is planning to launch a cheaper version of its flagship Blackwell AI chips for China, Reuters reported in May. The senators said in the letter they had previously expressed concern that Nvidia's actions could support the AI and chip industries in China and cited Nvidia's new research facility in Shanghai as an example.

Nvidia Stock Regains Momentum. Is It Time to Buy, Sell, or Hold NVDA?
After a sluggish start to 2025, Nvidia (NVDA) stock has come roaring back, reflecting improving market sentiment. Just a few months ago, the narrative surrounding Nvidia was far more cautious. Earlier in the year, the stock faced mounting pressure as concerns grew over potential demand headwinds for its high-performance GPUs. Notably, the launch of DeepSeek's cost-effective R1 large language model (LLM) in January raised concerns that Nvidia's premium-priced chips might lose their appeal. Adding fuel to the fire, new U.S. government restrictions on GPU shipments to China wiped out billions in potential revenue. This Underdog AI Stock Just Got a New Street-High Price Target 'The Most Patriotic Thing You Can Do Is Not Pay the IRS' Says Grant Cardone as OBBBA Signed into Law — Here's How Much You'll Save Texas Just Passed Quantum Computing Legislation. How Should You Play IONQ Stock Here? Tired of missing midday reversals? The FREE Barchart Brief newsletter keeps you in the know. Sign up now! Overall, Nvidia's early 2025 narrative was one of headwinds and caution. But the tide has turned. In just three months, Nvidia stock has surged 51%, making it the first publicly traded company to briefly surpass a staggering $4 trillion market cap. As macroeconomic fears have eased, so has the selling pressure on tech, including Nvidia. Further, the company's dominance across the AI ecosystem, including hardware, software, and networking, puts it in a solid position to capitalize on exploding AI infrastructure demand. Nvidia's recent financial performance demonstrates the robustness of its fundamentals. In its latest quarter, the company reported $44 billion in revenue, representing a 69% year-over-year increase. The Data Center segment led the charge with $39 billion in sales, up 73%, driven by the accelerating demand. Further, the shift from AI training to inference and the rapid buildout of AI factories around the globe augurs well for growth. The company's new Blackwell platform is now the key growth catalyst. In Q1, Blackwell chips contributed nearly 70% of Data Center compute revenue, marking the fastest ramp in Nvidia's history. With its innovative GB200 NVL systems, Nvidia is delivering AI compute at an unprecedented scale and efficiency, achieving the lowest cost per inference token in the industry. Nvidia's resilience shows in other areas as well. Networking has emerged as a powerful second growth engine, generating $5 billion in quarterly revenue, a 64% quarter-over-quarter increase. Technologies like NVLink and Spectrum-X are now essential for AI infrastructure, enabling the high-bandwidth, low-latency performance required for next-generation agentic AI, which aims to surpass generative models by facilitating autonomous reasoning and decision-making. Outside the Data Center segment, Nvidia continues to gain traction across Gaming, Automotive, and Robotics. Gaming revenue hit a record $3.8 billion, up 48% sequentially. Automotive revenue rose 72% year-over-year, reflecting strong demand for self-driving and innovative cockpit platforms. Nvidia's tech is expected to power the next-generation gaming and AI-powered PCs, expanding its total addressable market in meaningful ways. Nvidia's momentum shows no signs of slowing down. The tech giant recently shared an upbeat forecast for its second quarter, projecting $45 billion in revenue, reflecting a solid 50% increase compared to the same period last year. This guidance shows the continued strength of its Data Center segment, which remains a key growth driver even amid geopolitical uncertainty. A big part of that resilience comes from the company's latest innovation, the Blackwell platform, which is expected to help Nvidia maintain global demand despite regional headwinds. Wall Street is optimistic about NVDA's prospects. Analysts maintain a 'Strong Buy' consensus rating on Nvidia. Moreover, the Street high price target of $250 suggests significant upside potential for NVDA stock over the next 12 months. While Nvidia's valuation might raise eyebrows at first glance, especially with its forward price-earnings ratio hovering around 40x, the premium appears justified. The company is expected to deliver robust earnings growth of 36.5% in fiscal 2026, followed by an additional 32.3% in fiscal 2027. When you factor in that level of sustained profitability, Nvidia starts to look far more reasonably priced. For long-term investors, the answer leans heavily toward 'Hold' or even 'Buy.' Nvidia continues to deliver impressive growth and has dominant positioning in the AI ecosystem. While geopolitical risks remain, continued demand for its products and innovation make NVDA a compelling investment.
