European Investors Turn to Power Suppliers and Banks for AI Exposure as Tech Stocks Grow Pricier

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 28

Summary

  • European investors are widening their AI hunt beyond chip and software names, targeting power suppliers and banks as alternative ways to benefit from the theme.
  • Limited AI stock options in Europe have made the usual trades crowded, while rising valuations and relatively thin liquidity are pushing investors toward companies that enable or gain from AI indirectly.
  • The shift highlights Europe’s narrower AI equity universe versus the US and Asia, where markets offer far more semiconductor and memory-chip stocks tied directly to the boom.
