July 6th - Morgan Stanley strategists say U.S. stocks will struggle to reach new highs as investors pull out of some of this year's biggest tech gains. A team led by Michael Wilson points out that the rally in semiconductor stocks is waning as investors shift towards underperforming companies, including those focused on AI-driven hyperscale data centers. This group includes companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta, which are highly attractive within the AI ecosystem due to their strong core businesses. However, the strategist says major U.S. benchmark indices will remain under pressure in the short term, "given that momentum is waning at some of the larger companies in the indices." Sector rotation continues in a "generally volatile and weak market environment." Wilson expects hyperscale companies may begin to soften expectations regarding their spending plans given their recent underperformance. The strategist's year-end target for the S&P 500 is 8,000 points, implying an upside of about 7% from current levels.
