What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A report, based on a 2025 Vanguard analysis of 2024 plan-year data, found that 55- to 69-year-olds allocated between 52% and 67% of their retirement contributions to equities. The report noted that the S&P 500 is up almost 13% year-to-date in 2026, largely driven by AI-related companies. However, financial analysts have warned that the AI market could burst in 2027 or 2028 due to hyperscalers depleting free cash flow and rising debt costs.
