Good MorningLast week’s volatility was tied to renewed fears of an AI bubble, even as earnings were broadly solid. Some of the biggest pullbacks were concentrated in mega-cap technology, where results and AI spending plans did not match elevated expectations, but the underlying theme remained a steady commitment to data center and AI investment.
Concerns that AI could make software-as-a-service providers obsolete looked counterintuitive, since AI is software and many of the hardest-hit names are actively embedding it into their platforms to help businesses use data and automate operations. The broader market action remained constructive, with losses concentrated in big tech while many other areas advanced, including small caps and a notable move in transportation stocks.
On the macro front, early-2026 data pointed to expansion across manufacturing, services, and labor, with pockets of weakness in areas like auto sales and job openings, and attention now turning to the next set of major economic reports. Featured: A $500,000-a-day problem hides this AI stock (Ad)
