After a three-year rally that saw the S&P 500 climb 78%, AI stocks are experiencing a momentum shift driven by geopolitical instability and questions regarding capital expenditure returns. However, the emergence of AI agents and inference-based applications suggests a transition from infrastructure build-out to real-world utility.
Vanguard and Wellington Management analysts project a massive shift in the AI landscape, moving from infrastructure build-outs to "agentic AI" applications.

AI-native security startup Jazz has raised $61 million in a fresh funding round aimed at modernizing the stagnant Data Loss Prevention (DLP) market.

A massive wave of capital is flowing into AI infrastructure as industry leaders like Nvidia and OpenAI secure multi-billion dollar deals for chips, cloud capacity, and specialized hardware.
