AI capex slowdown risk for earnings

Bob Elliott, co-founder and CIO at Unlimited, said this week that a slowdown in artificial intelligence capital expenditure growth risks weakening corporate earnings growth and, in turn, undermining the current expansion in asset prices.

Elliott made his remarks during an appearance on CNBC.

Elliott previously appeared on CNBC to discuss challenges facing the AI trade and highlighted potential opportunities in bonds, according to a prior interview. More recently, Bloomberg reported that Anthropic IPO buyers now see company valuation as low as $1.1 trillion, down from earlier figures of $2 trillion, as noted in another report. These developments reflect shifting expectations around AI sector growth and valuations.
