What happened
An analysis published by investment research platform BestBrokers identified 28 S&P 500 companies involved in the global AI expansion, including those supplying chips, networking equipment, and manufacturing technology. These companies collectively hold a market capitalization of approximately $12.39 trillion, representing over 18% of the value of the S&P 500. The largest segment of this ecosystem is AI compute, which is dominated by Nvidia, AMD, and Intel, collectively valued at about $6.17 trillion.
