Oracle, Alphabet and Amazon in focus
Investors are closely watching upcoming earnings reports from Alphabet and Amazon, as concerns regarding 'AI debt' and corporate credit spreads begin to stabilize. Market sentiment has improved following the absence of expected large bond deals from major tech firms.
Why it matters
The financial health of major AI-investing tech companies is a critical indicator for broader market stability and the sustainability of the current AI boom.
Fears over artificial intelligence debt have eased after a bout of volatility. But more tests for AI debt are coming.
Oracle holds its Investor Day on Wednesday. And hyperscalers Alphabet and Amazon.com are scheduled to report quarterly results after the market close on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
Credit markets are on edge over a flood of AI debt, though fears have eased up a little lately. Meta Platforms ' plans for a $95 billion stock offering , announced on Monday, helped bring down its credit-default swap spreads. Those spreads had risen last week when the company reported negative free cash flow in the third quarter. Other CDS spreads had moved higher too, though they have since backed off.
