Reports that OpenAI's annualized revenue is approximately $20 billion below previous consensus have triggered a broad-based selloff across the AI ecosystem. Nvidia and Broadcom shares are trading lower as investors reassess the near-term monetization timeline for hyperscaler data centers. The narrative is shifting from 'AI is coming' to 'AI is expensive and slow to monetize,' pressuring high-multiple tech stocks that were previously insulated by growth narratives. The U.S. government has suspended Microsoft and Adobe from the green-card (PERM) visa program amid allegations of fraud, marking a significant escalation in regulatory pressure on Big Tech's labor practices. Microsoft responded by defending its pay equity and American hiring rates, but the suspension introduces operational friction and reputational risk. This development dampens the bullish thesis on Microsoft's long-term talent acquisition capabilities.
