Connection thesis
Tech mega-caps are deploying unprecedented capex ($130B+ in Q1 2026) but AI profit attribution is shifting to portfolio stakes (Anthropic) rather than core business. Meta's aggressive AI spending amid regulatory scrutiny signals competitive desperation—firms are pouring capital into AI infrastructure they don't fully monetize yet, compressing margins on core operations. This pattern suggests earnings quality deterioration will persist through earnings season as sell-side narrative ('AI is profitable') diverges from reality ('AI is capex-intensive, stake-dependent').

Prediction
Mega-cap tech equities (specifically GOOG, AMZN, META) will underperform the S&P 500 on net selling into earnings-driven rallies over the next 48h as margin concerns resurface.
