Alphabet Inc. shares dropped over 1.5% in early trading, influenced by the U.S.-Iran conflict and elevated energy costs impacting AI infrastructure spending. Investors are balancing the company’s strong AI-driven growth and positive Q4 results against concerns stemming from geopolitical tensions, high capital expenditures for AI, and a “higher-for-longer” interest rate environment. Despite analyst confidence and expanding AI offerings, the stock’s sensitivity to energy prices and market caution underscore the uncertainties facing the tech giant.
