AI Impact

Investors’ exuberance over the potential long-term effects of artificial intelligence (AI) on the market has raised concerns of an emerging bubble, according to Mike Coop, Chief Investment Officer at Morningstar Investment Management. Despite a slight decline this month, optimism surrounding AI’s profitability has driven the Nasdaq Composite to surge more than 31% year-to-date, while the S&P 500 has gained over 16%. Market watchers have begun to draw parallels to the dot-com bubble of 1999, as massive valuations concentrate in a handful of tech giants. Notably, Nvidia has surged 190% this year, Meta Platforms (parent company of Facebook) is up over 154%, and Tesla has climbed 99%. Coop explained that while today’s market leaders possess established competitive advantages, investors may be overestimating their ability to predict AI’s impact.

The rapid acceleration of generative AI and high-profile releases, such as ChatGPT, has fueled this surge. However, Coop cautioned that the long-term effects of transformative technologies are unpredictable. He pointed to historical examples like Google’s emergence and emphasised the need for diversified portfolios that factor in uncertainties. Coop urged investors to remain “valuation aware” and consider stocks that offer value even in adverse scenarios. He emphasised the value of recession-resistant stocks and noted that bonds have become more attractive over the past 18 months. As technological change accelerates, Coop concluded, investors should exercise caution when paying premium prices for speculative promises, highlighting the necessity of balance in an evolving market landscape. What do you think of the impact of AI on the market? And is it overblown?
