The summer seemed to put a dent in AI fervor, with retail investors easing up on specific stocks, though a lot is still simmering under the surface, say...
There are more signs that investors are cooling a bit on the hot artificial intelligence play, though no one appears ready to let go of their Nvidia stock just yet.
The fervor for AI-related stocks and technology took off earlier this year, with a pinnacle moment in May when Nvidia NVDA, -2.70% made big predictions on a boom for demand for its AI-related chips. Shares of the company are still up 211% so far this year, but enthusiasm for many tech stocks faded in August as China and interest rate-hike worries cropped up and some companies stressed AI benefits might not happen right away.
“It is crucial to recognize that a slowdown in retail demand, by itself, is improbable to trigger substantial price movements, without active bearish participation from institutional investors,” they added. “We believe C3.ai is taking the proper steps to capitalize on Generative AI, but it will take time to prove out,” said a team of analysts at Oppenheimer led by Timothy Horan, after those results were released on Sept. 7. They rate the company perform.
Young Money blogger Jack Raines highlighted the slowing interest in AI in a post on Thursday , citing data from analytics firm Similarweb that showed ChatGPT traffic down 3.2% in August, after 10% declines in June and July. “Under the surface, though, there have been important developments indicating a slow maturing of the cycle, of the underlying technologies and of attitudes to a revolution in waiting,” said a team led by analyst Adrian Cox.
