Recently, Morgan Stanley stated that although the AI sector remains the consensual main theme of the current US stock bull market, market concerns regarding high sector concentration, rising valuation premiums, and the monetization efficiency of massive AI capital expenditures continue to intensify.

It also expects that, influenced by recent lagging stock price performance, leading cloud giants will gradually revise down their capital expenditure guidance.
