On January 22, Dan Ives, Global Head of Technology Research at Wedbush Securities, appeared on a CNBC Television interview to discuss how the AI trade is accelerating. His insights are based on the discussions he had with tech leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Dan noted that for the first time in over 30 years, the US is ahead of China in technology, mainly due to the AI revolution. He highlighted that Nvidia is currently the leader in chip technology around the world. Dan noted that one of the common themes that has emerged after his discussion with tech leaders is that they are all looking to invest in AI. Dan believes that one of the biggest beneficiaries of this investment will be the AI and technology stocks of the United States.
Dan had released a note earlier saying that he expects the chips and software to take leadership in 2026. He acknowledged that there are some serious concerns regarding the software sector. However, Dan noted that the use cases of AI are being led by software companies, including Palantir and MongoDB. He believes that software companies are going to surprise the market in 2026, and the fact that many are cautious on the sector will result in a big trade.
