Chips stocks like Micron, Intel, and AMD just had a monster quarter — adding $2 trillion in value — but they started Q3 with a crash as analysts warned of a bubble. While the Mag 7 giants like Microsoft have been getting punished all June for overspending on AI with no return, Goldman Sachs points out that this massive capital spending is actually the fuel powering the broader bull market and the overall economy.

## Idea

The rapid 5-11% drop across major chipmakers on July 1st is being driven by Bank of America flagging 'bubble risk,' but this comes just a day after Goldman Sachs highlighted that a once-in-a-generation capital spending boom is underpinning the entire bull market. The CNBC article notes the record $2 trillion rally in Q2, showing the underlying demand for chips remains structurally strong. While Yahoo Finance reports that the Mag 7 AI spend is under scrutiny for lacking ROI, that same spending is literally the revenue for these chipmakers. The violent Q3 open dip in AMD and Intel is likely a sentiment-driven overshoot rather than a fundamental breakdown in the AI buildout.
