The market is experiencing a reversal from big tech leadership due to investor concerns over surging AI capital expenditures impacting future margins. This shift is leading to a selloff in top tech stocks and a rotation of capital into smaller companies, particularly those supplying the AI build-out, which are seen as having potential for a rebound and structural growth.
