Feb 13, 2026 LONG Goldman Sachs launched an "AI Proof" basket. These names are on the LONG side. Goldman's logic is that these companies possess "physical execution," "regulatory entrenchment," or "human accountability" moats that AI cannot easily disrupt or replicate. They are viewed as defensive winners in an AI-dominated future. LONG based on the thematic rotation into high-quality software with defensible moats. High valuations in software stocks generally.

Feb 13, 2026 SHORT These names are on the SHORT side of Goldman Sachs' "AI Proof" basket. The inference is that these business models (generic SaaS, CRM, language learning) are vulnerable to displacement by AI agents or automated coding/language models. They lack the "physical" or "regulatory" moats of the long basket. SHORT as a hedge against AI disruption eroding seat-based pricing power. AI integration actually boosts their margins rather than replacing them. Bloomberg Markets

Feb 12, 2026 SHORT Pinterest missed Q4 EBITDA estimates ($541M vs $550M) and provided weak Q1 EBITDA guidance ($166-186M vs est $205M). Stock down >10%. In a high-rate environment, the market has zero tolerance for unprofitability or margin compression. A guidance miss of this magnitude in the ad-tech space, especially when contrasted with other winners, suggests structural issues or market share loss. SHORT (Guidance Miss). Potential acquisition target or oversold bounce. Bloomberg Markets

Feb 12, 2026 LONG "Investors... finding some comfort when it comes to the U.S. bond market... Treasuries act as a hedge here." With equities (S&P 500/Nasdaq), Crypto, and Gold all selling off simultaneously, Treasuries are re-emerging as the sole "flight to safety" asset class. As volatility increases in risk assets, capital will rotate into government bonds. LONG (Hedge/Safety Trade). Re-acceleration of inflation data. Bloomberg Markets
