Goldman Sachs Strategist Warns of Potential Tech Earnings Bubble
· Business · Fortune, Bloomberg
Goldman Sachs chief global equity strategist Peter Oppenheimer has warned that technology stocks may be facing an earnings bubble rather than a valuation problem. Oppenheimer argues that rising AI infrastructure spending and government borrowing are competing for the same pool of capital, driving up costs. Data shows capital spending among AA-rated technology issuers grew 65% year-over-year in the second quarter. This marks the tenth consecutive quarter that aggregate capex growth for these firms has exceeded 35%.
