Barclays Bank said that the sharp slowdown in share repurchases by major U.S. technology companies will not have a noticeable impact on the broader stock market. It attributed this to the fact that investors are increasingly rewarding growth over returns on capital amid accelerating spending on artificial intelligence.
The company also noted that large technology firms are rearranging their capital-allocation priorities to fund multi-year AI infrastructure. It is expected that capital expenditures by major cloud-computing companies will exceed $1 trillion annually by 2028. As a result, share repurchases at major technology companies fell by about 17% over the past year, while repurchases in the rest of the technology sector and the broader S&P 500 continued their upward trend#BitMartToWindDownByJan2027 #SHIBSurges36% #CentralBanksWeighResponseAsOilNears$100 #USPausesIranStrikesSecondNight #PensionFundsTurnNetBuyersOfKoreanShares $TRUMP
