Amazon and Intel shares fell in early trading on Friday after the companies reported September-quarter results that CNBC and Semafor describe as weaker than expected. CNBC reports Amazon was down about 7 percent and Intel about 25 percent in premarket trading, with Nasdaq futures down 2 percent. Just the News, citing NBC News, reports that tech stocks were on course to lose about $1 trillion in value at the opening bell. Semafor says investors have grown wary of the AI trade as debt and financing costs outpace revenue. CNBC reports Amazon posted negative free cash flow for a second straight quarter while keeping its 2026 capital expenditure forecast at $220 billion.
