Patrick OShaughnessy: Cloud market underestimation repeating in AI sector
Investors underestimate AI like cloud

Patrick OShaughnessy highlights a recurring mistake among investors, pointing out that underestimating the total addressable market was a key error in the cloud sector and is now happening again with artificial intelligence.

He references how, in 2014, the prevailing view was that AWS would dominate completely and no significant enterprise opportunities would remain. OShaughnessy urges investors to learn from the emergence of firms like Snowflake, which show that new market leaders can still arise.

OShaughnessy has recently compared his view of the market with the more bullish sentiment he observes among other investors. He has also stated that evaluating investment managers depends on personal judgement in addition to thesis and track record, as detailed in a previous commentary. These perspectives align with his ongoing assessment of investor behavior and market opportunities.
