Alessio de Longis Senior Portfolio Manager, Invesco Bloomberg Markets
Own tech, avoid cyclicals
Because yields are rising due to accelerating earnings and productivity rather than inflation fear, he is overweight technology and communication services and underweight cyclicals, favoring quality balance sheets and high profitability.

DJ Deb CEO & Co-Founder, Francisco Partners Bloomberg Markets
AI meta-wave creates winners and losers.
AI is a genuine meta-wave comparable to PC, internet, mobile and cloud, with deployment only about 7% today; long-term upside is underestimated and short-term is overestimated, so a few multitrillion-dollar winners will emerge while 90% of today's AI companies will be worth far less.

High-quality tech withstands higher rates.
Equity concentration remains in large-cap, high-quality tech names that can withstand higher rates; until revenue or margin deterioration appears, investors are likely to stay in high-quality high-beta tech.

AI benefits tech, software, and power.
AI is not just about semiconductors; software and power/utilities are seeing real AI-driven benefits in earnings, sales growth is real, multiples have de-rated, and ING remains overweight tech and power to lean into the AI earnings bonanza.

David Rosenberg President, Rosenberg Research Wealthion
Avoid direct AI/tech bubble exposure.
Rosenberg says his model portfolio and ETF have not owned a single tech stock or tech ETF, and he is comfortable calling AI/tech a bubble. He argues the bubble is not in the technology itself but in investor behavior: margin debt has risen 50% in the past year to $1.5 trillion, bullish sentiment is near 78%, mutual funds hold about 1% cash, households have 73% of portfolios in equities and only 7% in bonds, and the Shiller CAPE just hit 41 for the first time since 2000. He likens it to prior innovation-cycle bubbles that eventually popped.

Wei Li Global Chief Investment Strategist, BlackRock Bloomberg Markets
U.S. equities and AI remain attractive.
U.S. equities are not stretched by recent-year valuation standards: the S&P 500 is around 22 times forward and the Magnificent 7 is below 20 times forward, a recent-year low. Earnings momentum remains positive, AI application cases are broadening, and cheaper Chinese models have not damaged U.S. AI valuations, so she remains invested in the sector.

Tech show-me; reward real execution.
Technology earnings were strong but stocks did not respond much, so tech is now a show-me story. Hyperscalers have spent heavily, and investors will reward companies that demonstrate real returns and ROIC rather than those merely spending cash.

Four sectors where earnings and narrative align
Within AI-related sectors, electric electronics should outperform power equipment over the short term in September because its order-to-delivery duration is much shorter. Memory substrates average about 50 days from order to delivery, and MLCC prices changed hourly during severe shortages, whereas power equipment has about three-year lead times. This makes electric electronics less exposed to high-rate duration risk than power equipment.

Rotate to Big Tech as semiconductors rest.
After Nvidia's semiconductor-led rally faltered, money rotated into large-cap tech names such as Microsoft that can remain resilient even if rates rise. The Philadelphia semiconductor index fell while big tech rose, and the speaker views semiconductors as entering a rest/consolidation phase after a strong run.

Big Tech AI capex lacks paying customers.
Lee says cloud and Big Tech AI capex is not supported by final paying customers: roughly 90% of AI-related revenue is data-center rental, while only 10% is actual AI services. Companies are investing before cash generation, cash is depleting, and the bubble is growing. In one or two years, paying customers are unlikely to be sufficient to recover the investment. If Big Tech capex stops, Nvidia's growth stops too.

Fernando Ulrich Financial Commentator, Independent Fernando Ulrich
Tech earnings growth supports continued upside
The S&P 500 information technology sector is projected to grow earnings 55% in 2026 and nearly 40% the following year, with margin forecasts around 34%. The sector's forward P/E is about 21x, far below the roughly 40x level seen near the 1999/2000 internet bubble top, suggesting the boom is not yet in late-cycle excess.

Ten-year money needs growth assets.
For money not needed for 10 years or more, holding deposits is destructive because inflation compounds. This long-horizon bucket should be invested in growth assets such as big-tech growth stocks or Bitcoin, which can outpace inflation over time.

David Bianco Head of Macro Strategy, Deutsche Bank Bloomberg Markets
Tech favored over bond substitutes.
Climbing yields become a cost of capital and compete with equities, especially if the 10-year Treasury yield reaches 4.75%; investors may rotate from bond substitutes like staples, REITs, and telecoms into bonds, while tech is least at risk because data-center investment is judged on return on capital, which he expects to be high-single digit over time.

AI/tech stock valuations need productivity gains.
AI and tech companies broadly defined account for about 10% of GDP, about 50% of S&P 500 market cap, and about two-thirds of stock gains since ChatGPT. But AI has so far boosted demand, CapEx, and stock prices without showing up in supply-side productivity. The valuations of these AI/tech companies depend on productivity gains; if productivity does not begin picking up meaningfully toward 2.25%-2.5%, investors may start questioning the valuations and the AI investment thesis.
