As artificial intelligence reshapes the technology landscape, investors are weighing high valuations against long-term growth potential. In this question and answer (Q&A) session, Portfolio Manager Richard Clode explains why this time may be different from the dot-com era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key takeaways:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • The tech sector today is fundamentally stronger than in 2000, being
    more diverse, profitable, resilient, and embedded across multiple sectors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • While valuations are elevated, the global tech leaders are supported by earnings and revenue growth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The massive capital expenditure in AI reflects a long-term investment in a generational technology shift. Tax incentives and real-world use cases are helping justify these investments, but selectivity in identifying true AI winners is crucial.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Q: Investors are drawing parallels between the dot.com bubble and the excitement around the AI wave today, with a particular focus on the capital expenditure (capex) versus profitability debate. What makes this time different?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The technology sector has evolved significantly compared to 2000 when there was effectively one bet on the enterprise internet opportunity. Today, there is much more diversity across end customer, end technology and business models. This is reflected in the breadth of technology companies represented across different sectors in indices like MSCI, with Amazon residing in Consumers, Netflix sitting in Communication Services, Uber in Industrials, and Visa and Mastercard in Financials. Alphabet and Meta are in Communication Services, a new sector established in 2018 to encompass the remaining internet companies alongside telecom companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Exposure to the technology sector is broader than narrow benchmark and GICS classifications. Tech leaders that are correctly identified can provide investors with exposure to innovation, secular growth, disruption, strong profit margins and balance sheets. Companies like these offer a lot more resilience and \u2018offence\u2019 in terms of growth and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Many of the leading technology companies today are also much more profitable and have much stronger balance sheets versus 2000 (Figure 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Past performance does not predict future returns.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Q: Has the stock valuation process for the Global Technology Leaders Team evolved over the years?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    We continue to use the same valuation techniques as we did in 2000, focused on price-to-earnings (P\/E) ratios and free cash flow (FCF) yields. There\u2019s a big difference in the number of unprofitable companies and their P\/E ratios. Back in the first quarter of 2000, around 36% of US tech companies were unprofitable, versus 21% in Q1 251<\/sup>. The Magnificent 7 today trade on a P\/E of almost 40x forward earnings, but taking out Tesla on >100x P\/E and the rest trade on a mid-20x P\/E ratio, which is well below the leading tech stocks in 2000 with many more on >1000x P\/E.  We also think a lower PEG (price\/earnings to growth) ratio, is a good indicator of underappreciated earnings, which we believe is a good guide to future returns (Figure 2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Figure 2: Unappreciated earnings growth drives returns, not P\/Es<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Q: Given the tech sector\u2019s strong performance in recent years are we heading towards bubble territory?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    NVIDIA, the first company to surpass US$4 trillion in market capitalisation and the leader of the AI technology wave, currently trades on >30x P\/E for next year.2<\/sup> While relatively high, we believe this is not indicative of bubble territory \u2013 consider that the tech sector was trading on 50x P\/E when the dot.com bubble burst. Microsoft too recently passed this market cap milestone. This time around, some of the high valuations have been backed by strong revenue and profits, unlike many companies back in 2000, which had burned through their funding without ever seeing a dollar of profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The technology sector continues to take market share of the global economy through its innovation and disruption. Over the past 20 years we have all changed the way we live our daily lives. Those new habits often include giving more money to technology companies driving the superior earnings growth of the so-called \u2018FAANG\u2019 that came to dominate the stock market. Now the same thing is happening in the AI wave led by NVIDIA, but we expect there will be many more new AI leaders in the years to come. As we all use more AI in the future, that will open up larger, new growth markets for technology to take market share, and continue to outpace the rest of the market in terms of earnings growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Q: Collectively, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft are committing about US$350 billion in capital expenditure this year, and more than US$400 billion next year. 3<\/sup> Are we anywhere near peak capex?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    AI is akin to an \u2018arms race\u2019 for companies and countries. We don\u2019t foresee any pull back on capex anytime soon given we are early on in this generational technology with ever-increasing addressable markets and use cases. As with every true tech wave like the PC, mobile, and internet, the long investment horizons require significant investment to realise its true growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The mega cap tech companies are investing in datacentres, talent and chips, and now we have reached the stage where the dollars are shifting from being used to train up large language models (LLMs) to actual use cases. This is instilling more confidence for both companies and investors in terms of justification for the huge capex amounts that we are seeing. Funding rounds from OpenAI and xAI recently, as well as Anthropic finalising soon support this narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Another key development has been tax reform via President Trump\u2019s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Among the measures announced, Companies can now expense 100% of domestic research and development (R&D), with permanent extension of the 100% bonus depreciation for qualified capital expenditure, allowing also retroactive expenses from capitalised R&D from 2022-24.4<\/sup> For big tech companies that spend tens of billions on R&D and AI\/cloud infrastructure, this is a major benefit from a taxation and cash flow perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That said, while we may be nowhere near peak capex, we have to be even more selective when identifying the AI leaders and the true beneficiaries as the next stages of AI development and the associated investment opportunities arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Q: Why does an active investment approach make sense for tech?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The technology sector provides access to a plethora of great, innovative companies with strong profit growth and balance sheets. While the current economic, geopolitical and technological landscape differs from that of the dot.com years, the AI wave will last for multiple years, with multiple up and down periods, and hype cycles. Coupled with the return of cost of capital, concentration risk in a small number of dominant tech stocks and geopolitical risks, an active approach should serve investors well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
