  • Ameriprise Financial sees cloud growth, credible AI spending plans and stronger cash generation as key to restoring confidence in AI stocks.
  • Alphabet and Microsoft report Wednesday, followed by Amazon Thursday; investors will scrutinize whether cloud demand extends beyond interconnected AI investment relationships.
  • Meta Platforms fell 9.4% last week as substantial capital spending pushed free cash flow slightly negative despite strong revenue growth.
  • The Federal Reserve, European Central Bank and Bank of Japan are expected to hold rates this week, with further increases remaining possible.
