Even though AI is reshaping the economy, markets can still get ahead of themselves. When a stock rises 500%, 800%, or even 1,000% on expectations of future AI revenue, the earnings bar becomes unrealistically high.
This doesn’t mean the technology isn’t real. It means quarter-to-quarter numbers rarely keep up with the story investors build around them.
That’s the actionable takeaway:
AI can transform entire industries while still producing earnings that fall short of market expectations.
The long-term story is intact, but the short-term reality can be bumpy — especially for stocks priced as if every quarter must be flawless.
Consumer stocks took the biggest hits last week while energy, healthcare, and materials rose slightly as investors rotated out of high priced momentum stocks into underperforming areas. Among the industries, the biggest winners were goldminers, biotechs, oil drillers while the biggest losers were solar, software, and mining stocks.
