AI-driven investor flows propel unprofitable tech stocks above peers

Goldman Sachs reports that its basket of unprofitable technology stocks gained 27% in May 2026, outperforming the Nasdaq 100 as investor interest increased in AI-related equities.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees technical strength but warns of significant overbought signals. He notes intraday bullish momentum yet flags the risk of correction as oscillators flash caution. Unprofitable tech stock outperformance reflects speculative sentiment rather than broad fundamentals. Goldman Sachs trades well above support, but extended momentum leaves little margin for error. "Despite strong price action, I believe caution is warranted as overbought conditions and speculative flows could trigger a swift reversal."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, views the ongoing rally as a sign of robust institutional demand and constructive market tone. He believes rising interest in AI and tech is driving momentum, supported by strong buy signals across major indicators. The technical structure supports further growth and the recent upside gap compounds bullish conviction. "With the bullish structure intact and sector tailwinds present, I expect continued upside and believe the market offers multiple setups for further gains."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, highlights the alignment of technical momentum with macro enthusiasm for AI-driven sectors. He notes the risk of a short-term pullback due to crowded long positioning but sees opportunity if support near $1,009.25 holds. Mehta suggests tactical traders watch for a potential breakout or a mean reversion setup. "I see increased volatility as a chance to play both breakout and contrarian reversals, depending on price action around key levels."

Overbought signals and gap-up momentum drive heightened pullback risk

Momentum is strong, with the MACD signaling a clear buy and the Average Directional Index (ADX) showing a neutral-to-moderate trend on the daily timeframe. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic RSI, and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) all signal overbought conditions. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) indicates buyers dominate intraday momentum and is itself in overbought territory. The Awesome Oscillator supports the bullish bias. The stock is up $22.64 or 2.21% on the day after an upside gap of about $8.05 and is trading near the high of its daily range, with intraday volatility at 2.49%. Intraday tone remains strong toward session highs, and the overbought oscillators suggest heightened risk of a near-term pullback even as price action remains robust.

Earlier, analysts noted that ongoing strength in corporate earnings particularly from AI-driven sectors, could continue to bolster U.S. equities despite broader market uncertainties. The latest technical and sentiment signals for Goldman Sachs reinforce this outlook, with short-term momentum suggesting traders should monitor the $1,072.93 level for a potential bullish breakout while remaining alert to increased volatility near current highs.
