RUNNING AI/Cloud Software Rotation on Capex Concerns
STRENGTH 43
Mega-cap hyperscalers are getting hammered as hawkish Fed commentary and AI spending sustainability fears trigger a rotation out of the names that have run the hardest on AI

A hawkish BofA call for multiple rate hikes combined with questions about hyperscaler AI capex sustainability has triggered broad-based selling in mega-cap tech. The software names that rode the AI wave highest — MSFT, GOOGL, META — are seeing profit-taking, while cloud/SaaS peers that never participated as aggressively in the AI rally are less affected and may offer relative value as institutional investors rotate.
