But some analysts are starting to worry about how much of that growth is concentrated in AI.A recent note from Pantheon Macroeconomics said that private fixed investment-a measure of how much companies are spending-"is rising only due to AI-related spending."

Investors might recall the 20% gain in the stock following the release of the February 2024 numbers.
