Sentiment around the AI trade is currently as cautious as it was at the start of the year, according to Juniper, which led to a market pivot higher in the first quarter. However, Juniper believes this earnings season will reveal underlying strength, despite potential short-term market reactions to profit-taking.
“So what you can learn is the sentiment around the AI trade, in our view, is probably as cautious as it was in the first quarter of the year coming into the reporting season in April.”
“That actually caused the market to pivot higher.”
“But at the end of the day, what we think that this earning season will show is that, like this report last night, there is incredible strength and you know, if positioning gets to one way, it gets taken off.”
