【LIVESTREAM RECAP|2026 Q2 Earnings Review: Big Tech, AI CapEx & Why Tech Stocks Pulled Back】
Hi Tigers! In this session we took a deep dive into Big Tech's 2026 Q2 earnings, AI CapEx, and why tech stocks pulled back in late July. The flow was clear: first the macro timeline from late July into August (FOMC, payrolls, CPI, Jackson Hole), then a company-by-company read of Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and Apple with their AI spend, and finally the big question everyone's asking — why did stocks fall even when earnings were strong?

【ABOUT THE GUEST】
Our speaker, Selina Han@Selina_Han_Insights, is the founder of Han Insights and an independent researcher. She was the first economist at CBOE — the largest equity options exchange in the U.S. — specializing in U.S. equity markets, listed options, market structure, exchange economics and financial regulation. What makes her perspective rare: she reads markets not just from the investor side, but from the exchange and market-structure side, tying macro, earnings and the AI narrative into a framework you can actually use.
【HIGHLIGHTS】
1. Macro timeline: how FOMC, payrolls, CPI and Jackson Hole moved the tape, and the back-and-forth on rate expectations.
2. The AI CapEx scoreboard: a sentiment-driven rating of each company's AI spend (green/yellow/red lights) so you can see who's leading at a glance.
3. Strong earnings, sold off anyway: reports looked solid, yet tech stocks dropped in late July — what was really going on.
Live Recap:
Live Recap 1: Why Tech Stocks Fell Despite Strong Earnings — Six Weeks That Moved the Market
Live Recap 2: The Big Tech AI CapEx Scorecard — Who's Actually Turning Spending Into Earnings
Live Recap 3: The AI Basket Broke Together — Inside the Situational Awareness Forced Unwind
Live Recap 4: Fed Policy, Jackson Hole, and What Comes Next — Q&A Highlights
【THIS CLIP】
Everyone's burning cash on AI — so why isn't Apple? This clip contrasts Apple's very different CapEx posture with the rest of Big Tech. Why it's worth watching — when "AI CapEx" is dominating every headline, a giant that refuses to pile in is itself the biggest information gap. Selina helps you think it through: is Apple falling behind, or playing a more disciplined game?
We genuinely recommend watching the full replay to fill in the market-structure and AI CapEx piece so many people overlook — it's the key to understanding this pullback. Take your time; there's more here than you'd expect.

微软、谷歌、Meta都在用巨额资本开支抢算力和模型能力,苹果却更像是在利用现有生态、终端设备和供应链去做AI。如果最终能靠 iPhone换机、端侧AI和服务收入 完成变现,那它的资本效率可能反而更高。
但风险也很明显:如果AI能力和用户体验明显落后,低Capex就不是“纪律”,而可能变成“错过窗口”。
所以我会重点看:AI功能真正落地后的用户使用率、换机周期,以及服务收入有没有被AI拉动。
一句话:别人比谁花得多,苹果是在赌谁花得更值。
