The Nasdaq 100 index is about to recover, and investors' concerns about the final return on investment in artificial intelligence have intensified, putting pressure on the tech giants that have driven most of the gains in US stocks this year. The technology-heavy index fell 1.6% on Tuesday and is likely to close in a pullback. A pullback is generally defined as a 10% or more decline from the peak. The index reached this technical threshold in just 38 trading days, in stark contrast to the last pullback in March. At the time, the index fell back from a record high in October 2025 to a pullback range, which took more than 100 trading days. Three other companies that have invested heavily in artificial intelligence will also announce their results this week. Among them, Microsoft and Meta Platforms Inc. are scheduled to release earnings reports on Wednesday, while Amazon will announce their results on Thursday afternoon.
