Goldman Sachs Highlights AI Concerns Impacting Long-Term U.S. Stock Valuations

Goldman Sachs analysts warn that fears over artificial intelligence disrupting long-term U.S. corporate growth are causing investors to reassess stock valuations, which now heavily depend on profits projected more than a decade ahead. Terminal value accounts for about 75% of the S&P 500's equity value, near a 25-year high similar to the dotcom era. The S&P 500 software and services index has fallen roughly 17% this year amid concerns about AI's impact on future revenue and margins. Meanwhile, major tech firms like Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon plan significant AI investments, totaling around $600 billion this year, despite investor skepticism about near-term returns.
