The AI sector is experiencing renewed interest, with Alphabet's stock showing impressive gains, soaring over 20% month-to-date. This performance is partly attributed to its TPUs and the Gemini tool, offering diversification from traditional GPUs and bolstering hyperscalers.
Market observers are increasingly focused on AI's tangible impact on productivity. While past AI gains were often linked to infrastructure contracts, the market now seeks companies like Alphabet that can demonstrate concrete efficiency improvements. This search for genuine productivity benefits is seen as crucial for the sustained growth of AI.
Beyond specific company performance, the underlying infrastructure supporting AI, such as data centers and energy, remains a strong long-term investment. Experts believe these areas, driven by global population growth and rising living standards, represent a necessary secular trend.
