Tech trade outlook: AI has 'long road ahead' and 'room to run'

In This Article:

Chip stocks, such as Nvidia (NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Intel (INTC), are mixed on Thursday, following a rally sparked by the Trump administration's Stargate artificial intelligence (AI) data center project announcement.

Rob Haworth, senior vice president and senior investment strategist at US Bank Asset Management, believes AI has a "long road ahead of it." Additionally, he tells Catalysts hosts Seana Smith and Madison Mills about opportunities for chip makers, utilities, and data centers, with strong potential in energy needs for AI.

"The challenge here is artificial intelligence is really still in its early stages of its investment boom," Haworth explains. "This includes, in addition to just building the architecture itself, building out the energy needs and the energy supply needs to support this over the long run."

Haworth adds that "there's room to run" for significant growth surrounding AI despite the long process it will endure. He also notes that the utilities sector may not grow as quickly as tech, but it could still offer growth and diversification and benefit from AI’s broader economic impact.
