*Google Stays Strong Amid Chip Carnage: New AI Safe Haven?*

While chip stocks like Micron fell on order-cut fears, Google/Alphabet stayed stable. Why? Google doesn’t just sell chips - it sells AI services: Search, Cloud, YouTube ads.

*Example*: If NVIDIA drops 10% due to fear, Google might drop 2% because investors trust its AI profits are already flowing in.

Buffett’s $10B bet on AI software over chip hardware shows this idea: buy the “picks and shovels users”, not just the “shovel makers”.

Less risky in chip cycles, but still not “safe”. No stock is.

Google Stays Strong Amid Chip Carnage; Buffett's $10B Bet: New AI Safe Haven?
Alphabet slipped just 0.95% on Friday, making it the most resilient mega-cap tech name during the semiconductor rout. Berkshire Hathaway was reportedly disclosed as having built an approximately $10 billion position in Google, while Alphabet's in-house AI chips (TPUs) reduce its dependence on NVIDIA — leading markets to treat the stock as a safe haven amid AI hardware deleveraging. The combination of cash flow, proprietary silicon, and cloud scale is drawing capital rotating out of crowded AI hardware trades. As money exits AI hardware, will you rotate into Google?
