Fears of an artificial intelligence bubble bursting appear overblown. That’s the sentiment echoed on Wall Street in the aftermath of tech giants delivering better-than-expected quarterly results and reiterating investments in AI infrastructure. Increased investments in AI Infrastructure and other solutions have once again affirmed sentiments in the burgeoning segment that was the catalyst behind US markets powering to record levels last year.
At the beginning of the year, investors became worried that the AI surge might collapse in the aftermath of the Chinese company DeepSeek creating a sophisticated large language model that needed less energy and funding. The news from DeepSeek caused a significant change in market sentiment and led to a decline in AI stocks that had experienced substantial increases for most of the year.
Fast forward, tech giants signaling they will continue to invest in AI and cloud infrastructure is a tailwind that continues to reiterate sentiments around AI stocks. Companies ramping up investments to address capacity constraints in their cloud unit, as others ramp investments in AI-powered servers and data center assets, are a positive for the overall sector.
According to AMD CEO Lisa Su, ordering patterns around everything AI remains strong, signaling people and companies are not making short-term decisions. Initially, there were concerns that companies pursuing opportunities around AI had spent far too much and too quickly to build out infrastructure and would need to go slow. Consequently, tech giants whose valuations had skyrocketed to record highs pulled back significantly as investors remained wary of their long-term outlook amid an uncertain macroeconomic environment that is crumbling amid a ferocious trade war and export controls.
Continued investments in AI should be expected as companies look to strengthen their product and services portfolio while also strengthening their competitive edge. There have been concerns that heightened regulations and authorities placing guardrails could derail innovations around artificial intelligence. However, that appears not to be the case.
According to Wedbush Securities global head of technology research Dan Ives, “Innovations around AI are growing at 100 miles per hour while regulatory pressure is only growing at 35 miles an hour”.
