Thomas Hayes predicts 'monstrous bull market' outside mega-cap tech
What happened
Thomas Hayes, founder and managing member of Great Hill Capital, stated that a "monstrous bull market" could develop beneath the S&P 500 within six months, despite the current AI sell-off. He contends that the next wave of AI winners will not be the mega-cap tech firms, but rather the "unmagnificent 493" companies that use AI to boost productivity and cut costs.

Why it matters
Hayes suggests the investment opportunity is evolving, moving away from companies that built the initial AI infrastructure, such as chips, models, and data centers. If his view is correct, hundreds of companies below the S&P 500 index may start to perform much better while the index itself appears slow.
