Google Cloud revenue doubled, up 103% year over year on AI infrastructure and TPU sales, which is what matters for investors here. The EPS miss came from an $8.7 billion loss on equity securities, and quarterly capex of $51.4 billion pushed free cash flow negative. Keep an eye on the stock as the call gets underway.

Kindig is putting a number on the AI buildout that anchors the capex debate: up to $6.5 trillion by 2030, with Nvidia and the four hyperscalers sitting on the receiving end of most of it.

A lord of war ref on wsb is peak Shouldve made nicholas cage the buyer tho
The 607-upvote thesis: Alphabet wins the AI race either way by selling TPUs and cloud compute to the rivals burning VC money, so model benchmarks matter less than who pays the infrastructure bill. The trader is backing it with June 2027 calls struck at $300.
A 3.8% slide takes roughly $160 billion off the company in a single session, a rare drawdown for a mega-cap that has mostly traded one way this year. Watch whether it holds the $348.11 open level next session.
A 3.8% intraday slide to $334.89 is a rare single-session drop for a $4.2 trillion company, and moves of that size here ripple straight into index returns. No confirmed catalyst yet, which makes the next session's follow-through the thing to watch.
2 trillion valuation with 4b of revenue?
Anthropic's prospectus sets $4.59B in 2025 revenue against an $8.06B operating loss at a roughly $2 trillion valuation. The number traders shouldn't skip: $518B in cloud, compute and infrastructure obligations, which is the bull case for the picks-and-shovels names.
Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 9/24/26
- Cramer pushes back on index-fund supremacy, calling the absolutist version of it wrong
- Still recommends 50% of savings in an S&P 500 fund as a hedge against your own mistakes
- Argues the S&P holds far fewer than 500 good stocks, so you buy the bad with the good
- Caller questions on portfolio structure for young investors, 529 plans, and retirement vs. mad money
Put half in an index fund as insurance, the other half in individual names you have actually done the homework on. Cramer's case is that an S&P 500 fund gives you 8% to 10% a year and mediocrity alongside the winners, which is why he says it will not make you rich on its own.
Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 9/21/26
- Retrospective on Tim Cook's Apple tenure, which ended September 1, 2026, built from a decade of Cramer interviews
- Cramer's original thesis: Apple as the future health company and the future credit card company
- Cook cited 11,000 ResearchKit signups in 24 hours for a Stanford cardiovascular study
- Cramer framed Apple Pay as pushing retailers and card networks toward adoption
With Cook out of the CEO chair as of September 1, the case for Apple built on services, health data and payments now belongs to someone else to defend. Cramer's replay is a reminder that the growth story he backed for a decade rested on those businesses.

About as clear a risk-off tell as a House filing gives you: a sitting appropriator rotated out of megacap tech and a big bank in the same week. The filing shows trims of Alphabet, Apple and JPMorgan on Aug. 20, purchases of defensive names like McDonald's, PepsiCo and Novo Nordisk six days later, plus short duration high yield.
Alphabet lifted its quarterly payout 4.8% to $0.22, its second raise in the two years since it started paying at all. A company spending heavily on AI infrastructure is still committing more cash to shareholders.
