Tom Lee2026-10-18 06:10:44Tom Lee fund analyst says tech stocks are a buy on dips, but investors should stay diversifiedMark Newton, an analyst at a fund run by Tom Lee, said in a CNBC interview on Oct. 18 that the current pullback offers a chance to buy technology stocks on weakness, while warning that investors should remain diversified and be ready for sector rotation. He said cross-asset volatility has picked up sharply over the past month, with the S&P 500 recently down about 6% and the tech sector also seeing a notable pullback over the past week. Even so, compared with the gains posted in September, Newton said the damage to tech stocks remains relatively limited. He described this year’s market as one defined by rotation, with energy rising nearly 40% first, then leadership spreading to technology, and now shifting toward healthcare, which has reached record highs. Interactive Brokers chief strategist Steve Sosnick added that investors may still carry sizable tech exposure through S&P 500 index funds even if they have not made a direct AI allocation, and said he is concerned about continued weakness in tech shares and growing questions around returns on AI investment.20
Jim Cramer2026-09-02 23:40:44Jim Cramer says investors are rotating from expensive tech stocks into cheaper namesCNBC host Jim Cramer said investors are not abandoning AI or technology stocks, but are instead rotating positions within the market. In his view, the move reflects a shift away from stocks carrying high price-to-earnings ratios and toward cheaper names. Cramer added that investor interest in the technology sector remains intact. The comments frame the latest market action as a valuation-driven rotation rather than a broader retreat from tech exposure.200

JPMorgan2026-08-25 05:56:51JPMorgan says U.S. stocks can keep grinding higher into year-end, led by sector rotationJPMorgan strategist Fabio Bassi said U.S. equities still have room to move higher through the end of the year, though gains are likely to depend more on sector rotation than on a broad rise across all risk assets. The bank kept a constructive stance on stocks and said it favors high-quality growth names, cloud computing leaders, and semiconductor shares that have already been repriced. The view comes as U.S. market action has become more selective, with volatility picking up in the Nasdaq and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index. Some of the strongest earlier winners tied to the AI trade have also faced concentrated selling. According to JPMorgan, that shift does not necessarily signal the end of the bull market. Instead, it may reflect capital moving out of crowded trades and into areas with clearer earnings visibility and valuations that can better absorb current conditions. The bank also interpreted rising long-dated Treasury yields as a sign that capital demand and investment opportunities are increasing, particularly as AI infrastructure, power grids, data centers, and cloud computing continue to attract heavy spending.1020
Korea stocks2026-08-10 01:53:59Semiconductor Pullback Drives Rotation in Korean Stocks as Non-Chip Sectors RepriceData from the Korea Exchange shows a clear rotation in South Korea's stock market away from semiconductor heavyweights and into non-chip sectors. Between Aug. 3 and Aug. 7, Samsung Electronics fell 12.00% and SK Hynix dropped 17.23%, while the KOSPI slipped 5.10%. Metal and machinery stocks rose over the same period. The combined weight of Samsung and SK Hynix in the KOSPI has fallen to 46.3% from 58.9% on June 25. Excluding the two chip giants, the KOSPI's net profit forecast for this year was raised to 222.3 trillion won from 219.2 trillion won last week, reinforcing a valuation recovery outside semiconductors. KB Securities analyst Kim Min-kyu described the pattern as a re-rating of previously overlooked industries taking place while the dominant sector consolidates, rather than a broad-based market rally. The shift highlights how investors are repricing earnings improvements beyond the semiconductor complex.1910
S&P 5002026-08-06 09:37:19Why the S&P 500 Keeps Hitting Records While Many Tech Stocks Are Still UnderwaterThe S&P 500 closed at a record 7,736.52 on Aug. 4, 2026, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished above 54,000 for the first time. Yet the experience for many investors looked very different beneath those headline numbers. Nvidia was still about 20% below its peak, the Nasdaq Composite remained roughly 2% under its June record, and a number of AI and semiconductor names were far from fresh highs. The gap is not a contradiction so much as a lesson in how broad market indexes work. This report breaks down the mechanics behind that split. The S&P 500 is market-cap weighted, but technology still represents only about 29% to 30% of the index, leaving the other 70% spread across financials, healthcare, industrials, consumer names and other sectors. During June, July and early August 2026, leadership widened beyond AI hardware, with financials and healthcare helping hold the index near highs while semiconductor stocks sold off. Equal-weight performance added another layer to the story: the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) returned 14.9% year to date as of Aug. 5, ahead of the standard S&P 500’s 13.2%. The piece also examines the index’s concentration risk, including the fact that the top 10 holdings make up more than 37% of the S&P 500, and explains why an index making new highs does not mean every stock inside it is doing the same.2460

S&P 5002026-07-21 10:00:00S&P 500 low-volatility index flips its usual pattern, raising a warning for U.S. stocksThe S&P 500 Low Volatility Index has posted a pattern that author Jim Paulsen describes as unprecedented since 1990: it has, on average, risen on days when the S&P 500 falls and declined on days when the benchmark rises over the past six months. In the article translated by TechFlow and published by Odaily, Paulsen argues that the move reflects a market pulled in two directions at once. Investors still do not want to miss the upside tied to the AI trade, but they are also increasingly worried about being caught too late in crowded, expensive positions. Paulsen frames the setup as a collision between FOMO and what he calls NBO, or fear of not getting out in time. He says historical data suggest this kind of low-volatility behavior has often been a weak signal for the broader S&P 500 and for newer-economy groups such as technology and communication services. The piece also points to a shift in market internals: even with strong earnings, technology stocks and the Mag 7 have only modestly outperformed the broader market since mid-2024, while small caps, value shares, and international equities have moved closer to new-economy performance over the past year.1440
