Google already conducted some financing during the Q2 report and hinted that capital expenditures will "significantly" increase next year, so the shock of "sudden big spending + sudden fundraising" may have already been priced in. Additionally, Brin and Page moved out of California before the January 1, 2026 deadline, so they might not be forced to sell shares to pay California taxes. This allows the market to focus on Google Cloud growth driven by Anthropic. What Meta spent last week: first negative free cash flow since 2012, heavy AI spending, and hints that it will get even heavier. They set up new Class C common stock with no voting rights, effectively a 1-for-2 split, planned to start trading in January 2027. This is to raise external financing for AI development without diluting Zuckerberg's voting control. The market is still worried: under California's Prop 40 billionaire tax, Zuckerberg might be forced to sell shares to pay taxes. Why is Google different? Page bought two properties totaling about $173.4 million in Miami this year; Brin moved to the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe and also bought a house in Miami. Analysts believe investors don't need to worry about "founders selling off to pay taxes" like with Meta. Luria also expects Google to discuss how to regain AI leadership: currently, it is mostly second or third in various tracks—behind ChatGPT in chat, behind Anthropic and OpenAI in the enterprise market, and even behind Me in personal assistants
