by

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) bull Ross Gerber has suggested that the tech sector's earnings reports are indicative of substantial AI infrastructure spending.

What Happened: Gerber took to X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday to express his views on the tech sector's earnings reports. He believes that the consistent trend of these reports points towards a significant increase in AI infrastructure spending. He also emphasized the potential benefits for companies involved in AI infrastructure.

Gerber's post comes at a time when the tech sector is experiencing a surge in AI-related activities.

This surge is being driven by companies like Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google, which have beaten Street consensus estimates in their March 2024 quarter earnings, led by AI and cloud computing space.

"Every earnings report from the tech sector points to lots of infrastructure spending on AI... Bodes very well for the bricks and mortar companies behind AI."

Here's how the stocks Gerber recommended have performed in 2024 so far, according to Benzinga Pro:
