Microsoft and Meta both crushed their last quarters, yet Wall Street's real verdict on July 29 has nothing to do with revenue beats. The question traders are actually pricing is which AI capex monster blinks first.
Meta's ad machine is printing money and analyst targets point to nearly 30% upside, yet something in the options market and recent earnings history suggests the smartest trade right now is doing nothing at all.
Investors are practically begging AI’s big spenders to blink. Markets are making the option of pulling in the reins—or at least keeping capital spending steady—tantalizing. Google parent Alphabet’s stock fell almost 7% after it reported quarterly earnings last week that included a $10 billion hike in capital spending to around $200 billion this year.
Meta Platforms is set to publish its second-quarter results late Wednesday. For Meta stock, all eyes will be on the tech giant's capital expenditures and Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg's strategy for that AI spending. "In the wake of (Google's results), the market will be expecting Meta to raise its 2026 capital expenditures outlook from (the prior) $125 billion-$145 billion, and is also expecting Meta to preview a 'significant' increase in capex spend for 2027," Evercore ISI analyst Mark Mahaney said in a client note Sunday.
Visa is cutting 2,600 jobs, or about 7% of its workforce, as it works to adapt to the rapidly changing payments industry. “To capture the opportunities ahead and best position Visa to lead this transformation, we must continue evolving how we work,” he wrote in a memo viewed by The Wall Street Journal. Visa joins other large companies seeking to streamline operations and improve efficiency with AI.

Meta Stock Faces Big Test as AI Spending Hits Center Stage
Social network operator Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) will be reporting earnings this Wednesday after market close. Here’s what to expect.
Investing.com -- Just one of five mega cap technology companies that reported earnings this quarter managed to outperform the S&P 500 the following day, which warns that the pattern is likely to persist as AI capital expenditure anxiety continues to overshadow otherwise solid results.
The venture will fund the construction and operation of the campus, which Meta says will provide the compute capacity needed to train and deploy next-generation AI models.
Meta Platforms (META) and BlackRock (BLK) have agreed to form a strategic venture to develop and own
Meta Platforms and the world's largest asset manager BlackRock on Tuesday announced a venture to develop and operate a data center campus in El Paso, Texas, a project that would cost about $14 billion in development. The race to build out AI infrastructure has prompted tech giants to turn to debt sales worth tens of billions of dollars or seek external capital from fund managers such as BlackRock due to an unprecedented scale of investment. Meta said BlackRock-managed funds will take an 80% ownership stake in the venture, with Meta retaining the remaining 20%.

Meta Platforms is slated to post its quarterly earnings after markets close Wednesday, with traders pricing in a sizable move from the social media giant’s stock.
Wall Street is headed for its busiest week of the earnings season and while earnings have been strong so far, one thing is clear: Good isn't good enough for tech companies. Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta are some of the 170 companies reporting earnings this week after Alphabet and Tesla set the stage last week. More than 130 S&P 500 companies have already reported earnings, with most beating earnings expectations, but whether those earnings beats translated into a move higher for the stocks was a more complicated story.
Chip stocks pulled Nasdaq lower to start the week, as falling oil prices failed to give markets a broad reprieve. Nvidia shares are down about 5%, dragging its market value below that of Apple’s in intraday trading. Investors will watch for a fresh batch of U.S. tech earnings this week, including reports from Microsoft and Meta Platforms on Wednesday.
