AI-related spending has driven nearly half of recent S&P 500 earnings growth, but capex expansion and elevated tech margins are poised to decelerate. UBS recommends diversifying beyond traditional AI leaders into companies leveraging AI applications for productivity gains across broader sectors.
UBS examines the evolving AI market cycle, noting that AI investment has accounted for nearly half of S&P 500 earnings growth this year, pushing earnings well above historical trendlines. While spending on chips and data centers will remain elevated, growth rates face headwinds from higher capital costs, rising depreciation, increasing competition from China, and tighter regulation, which could pressure semiconductor margins from their current ~70% highs. Rather than signaling an end to the AI boom, this marks a transition toward application and productivity adoption across the wider economy, creating attractive opportunities beyond mega-cap tech leaders.
