[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: Semiconductor and semiconductor equipment stocks now account for a record ~18% of the S&P 500's total market cap, the biggest weighting for any single industry group.

This percentage has more than TRIPLED since the 2022 bear market.

By comparison, at the peak of the 2000 Dot-Com Bubble, Tech Hardware and Equipment peaked at ~26%.

Furthermore, the Semiconductor Index, $SOX, relative to the Magnificent 7 is up to 85 points, the highest since mid-2020.

This comes as $SOX has rallied +159% since the start of 2025, materially outperforming the Magnificent 7's gain of +30%.

This run in semiconductors is unlike anything in market history.

Layers of AI

[Danny Naz @ThePupOfWallSt]

Everyone keeps asking, “Who wins in AI?”

Wrong question.

The better question is: Who becomes infrastructure, and who becomes optional?

Look at this stack.

Security sits at the top. Not because it’s sexy, but because when AI accelerates everything, the attack surface explodes. The more automated the world becomes, the more valuable protection becomes. That’s leverage.

Systems of record are next. The companies that own the data get to layer AI on top of it. They don’t get disrupted. They get upgraded.

Vertical software and workflow? Neutral for now. They’ll benefit, but only if they integrate intelligently. AI won’t save mediocre execution.

Developer tools start to feel pressure. When AI writes code, tests code, and debugs code, the traditional tooling stack has to justify its existence.

And then there are point solutions.

AI collapses fragmentation. If your product does one narrow thing, and a platform can now do it natively with a prompt, you’re in trouble.

AI isn’t just a new feature cycle.

It’s a compression cycle.

It compresses time.
It compresses margins.
It compresses categories.

The winners won’t be the loudest about AI.

They’ll be the ones AI can’t function without.

Fifty years. Same movie. Different ticker.

Gold in the late 70s. Japan in the 80s. Asia in the 90s. The Internet in 2000. Housing in 2006. China in 2008. Biotech in 2015. ARKK, Bitcoin, and now the Magnificent 7.

Every cycle has a story that feels different. Revolutionary. Structural. This time is smarter. This time is permanent.

Price goes vertical. Narratives get louder. Risk management gets quieter.

Then gravity shows up.

The takeaway is not that innovation is fake. It is that parabolic moves rarely sustain without resets. Excess always gets wrung out.

Bubbles are not about bad assets. They are about stretched expectations and crowded positioning.

If you trade long enough, you stop asking “Is this different?”

You start asking, “Where are we in the cycle?”

Tech and Financials currently make up nearly 50% of the entire S&P 500:

[Jack Prandelli @jackprandelli]

🌍 Global growth is shifting east

🥇 #India 6.3%
🥈 #Indonesia 5.1%
🥉 #China 4.5%

India and Southeast Asia are doing the heavy lifting for global GDP growth.

The US keeps growing, but at a very different speed.

#Europe is… barely moving.

This is about where population, energy demand, capital spending, and manufacturing are actually expanding.

Growth ≠ where markets feel safest
Growth = where momentum is building

🤔 If this is the growth map for 2026, where should capital really be flowing today?
