The 'Magnificent Seven' tech giants plus Broadcom and Oracle have shed roughly $2.7 trillion（約430兆円） in market value in June as investors reassess the cost of the AI infrastructure race. The selloff spans both hardware makers like Nvidia and Broadcom, and cloud spenders like Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle.
Why it matters
Hyperscaler free cash flow—the money left after capital spending—is projected to fall sharply as data centers, chips, power, and networking gear become the entry fee for staying competitive in AI. That cash cushion is what investors have relied on for buybacks, dividends, and shareholder returns, so the squeeze directly threatens the earnings stories that drove valuations higher.
What to watch
The core question is whether Big Tech can sustain the capital intensity of the AI build-out without breaking the free cash flow promise investors have priced in. Companies are no longer trading on revenue potential alone; they are now trading on the cost of getting there.
