Stocks & Indices Rumor First seen

Reddit user questions whether cutting Google AI spending would help the stock

A Reddit r/investing poster argues that cutting Google's AI spending would not necessarily make the stock a better buy, since lower capex would help cash flow but not remove the threat to Search. The poster cites a Ramp breakdown pointing to weaker monetization in AI Overviews and worries that falling capex assumes too much about what comes after.
