GQG Partners Warns AI Stock Market Boom Is a Bubble Similar to Telecom and Shale Busts
By
Tom Lauricella
Summary
GQG Partners, a $160 billion asset manager, argues that the current AI boom is a stock market bubble similar to the telecom bubble of the 1990s and the shale oil boom. While many investors see surging AI infrastructure spending (chips, memory, data centers) as proof of no bubble, GQG views this as evidence of overinvestment based on unproven future demand and pricing for AI services. The firm warns that the massive capital expenditures are outpacing realistic revenue potential, and the bubble will eventually burst.
