Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

UBS suggests the market is separating into two distinct trades: highly leveraged Neoclouds, which are sensitive to higher funding costs, and cash-rich hyperscalers and chipmakers whose earnings continue to grow. UBS predicts AI capital expenditure will rise 33% to $1.2 trillion in 2027.
