AI Spending Shock Triggers Big Tech Selloff And Small-Cap Revival - Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN), CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ:CRWD)

Heavy AI spending has caused mega-cap tech stocks to drop up to 17%, while smaller AI enablers have gained market value, reflecting a shift in investor focus, analysts say.

Summary by Benzinga
