A Focus on AI and Technology Stocks
- The adoption of AI promises to be highly disruptive and has to potential to improve profitability of companies that adopt the technology.
- It faces regulatory hurdles and risk-pricing challenges as insurance companies learn to price AI risk, but those problems are a few years away.
- In the near term, the technology rally appears extended and may need a breather.
The Art of Resilience
- In the face of potential recession and inflationary pressures, the luxury goods market stands out from its peers.
- This resilience can largely be attributed to strong pent-up demand following pandemic lockdowns, coupled with the spending power of high-end consumers.
- One of the leaders of the space is Global Blue Group, a tax-free shopping-focused company that had a turbulent introduction to public markets in 2020, through a SPAC deal, amidst the pandemic.
