IBM Stock Slumps Amid AI Investment Fears

IBM's stock has been facing renewed selling pressure after failing to establish itself above $240. The technology sector as a whole is also under scrutiny due to concerns over the scale of AI investment and potential returns on that spending.

A recent calculation by The Wall Street Journal found that off-balance-sheet investment commitments among the largest U.S. AI companies have reached roughly $3 trillion, while combined capital expenditure stands at around $600 billion. This gap has intensified the debate over how quickly massive investments in AI infrastructure can generate adequate returns.

Financial analyst Alex Krüger described the current environment as 'the largest bubble in stock market history.'
