Analysts warn the tech giant faces a 30% stock correction due to overvaluation amid its shift from high-margin software to AI infrastructure, risking investor losses. Capital expenditures are projected to hit 33% of revenue by 2026, trapping the company in a cycle of high reinvestment and shrinking profit margins. Emerging competition from specialized AI agents and open-source models threatens pricing power and user engagement, further squeezing growth and profitability. The firm’s valuation premiums over peers are deemed unsustainable as its business model pivots to capital-heavy infrastructure, justifying potential multiple compression. Investors betting on a rebound may misjudge structural risks, as the transition to AI infrastructure undermines traditional revenue streams and long-term margins.
