#全球科技股延续抛售
The recent market fluctuations are, at their core, capital re-pricing the “AI narrative.”
The tech bull run of the past two years was built on extremely optimistic discounted cash flow (DCF) assumptions about the future. But the macro reality is: the timing of rate cuts keeps getting pushed back, and the cost of capital is no longer cheap. At the same time, the tech giants’ surge in capital expenditures (CapEx) has outpaced the rollout of commercialization on the end-user application side, creating a temporary mismatch in timing.
When the return on investment (ROI) can’t be realized in the short-term financial statements, and lofty valuations lack solid support, market sentiment naturally shifts from the past “FOMO (fear of missing out)” to a more stringent scrutiny of the balance sheet.
This isn’t the endpoint of technological evolution—it’s the “water being squeezed out” phase of the typical technology maturity curve (Hype Cycle).
Separating truth from hype may not be a bad thing. While a wave of sell-offs is certainly hard to endure, it will flush out the tail-end bubbles, forcing companies to move away from indiscriminate “burn-money sprinting” toward a more rational contest of “efficiency and profitability.” Businesses that truly have a commercial moat and the ability to generate cash flow are often the ones that emerge through this kind of squeeze.
