AI Worries Have Returned to Wall Street. Now Come Earnings.
April 28 was the first day the AI trade split in two: Oracle, CoreWeave, and SoftBank fell 4-9% on OpenAI's missed revenue and user targets while Adobe, Salesforce, and ServiceNow rose. Same news, opposite direction; the market stopped pricing OpenAI counterparties as cloud infrastructure stocks. They are receivables now, and the multiple compresses until non-OpenAI revenue concentration is demonstrated.
