The 'Mag 7' is over, look to energy instead: David Bahnsen

With a slew of tech earnings arriving this week and inflation remaining stubborn, many on Wall Street are focused on the "Magnificent Seven" — Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), NVIDIA (NVDA), Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT), and Tesla (TSLA) — which have driven rallies in the past.  The Bahnsen Group CIO David Bahnsen joins Market Domination to give insight into the recent slate of earnings and how the tech sector is evolving beyond previous top names. Bahnsen discusses the problem with investors relying on high valuations as a standard: "High volatility is a byproduct of a high multiple that is totally disconnected from reality. So expensive stocks get more expensive until they don't. But it's impossible to gauge, judge, and certainly time. But you saw already this year earnings season, Facebook just getting ripped apart yesterday and yet Google rallying today. The Mag Seven is over. It doesn't exist as a monolith anymore.

Microsoft, Alphabet earnings show AI is more than just hype

Both Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) and Microsoft (MSFT) posted quarterly results that topped Wall Street estimates. The big takeaway from both reports? That generative artificial intelligence is here and companies are spending on it, says both Baird Technology Desk Sector Strategist Ted Mortonson and RBC Capital Markets Software Equity Analyst Rishi Jaluria. "The commentary out of both Google and Microsoft, I think, tells us that there is real demand for AI... there's actual money being put behind this. It's not just hype. It's not just people talking about it. There's actual capital being put to work," Jaluria tells Yahoo Finance's Morning Brief. Mortonson agrees. "We are going through, really, a generational infrastructure build," Mortonson says, adding that both Microsoft and Alphabet have an "advantage" because their "data center footprint already exists." Jaluria notes that investors "will be patient" with Microsoft's big spending on infrastructure as long as the company's AI-related businesses continue to show growth. As to why investors were less happy about Meta's (META) AI spending, Mortonson thinks it may come down to "a game of positioning." "Meta was extremely crowded going into the print. There's some people that, quite frankly, didn't like some of the unprofitable spend," Mortonson says. He believes that Meta is "very attractive" given how hard the stock was hit by its results, but the Microsoft does have a "huge advantage" due to its enterprise business.
