BCGE flags AI-driven earnings boom may mask stretched valuations as growth normalizes
  • BCGE flagged limits in 12-month forward P/E ratios for AI-linked stocks, arguing profit growth is unusually inflated and may mask valuation risk.
  • Nasdaq-100 trades near 21x earnings, down from almost 100x in the late-1990s tech bubble, within the 20-30x range since 2020.
  • Nvidia profit rose from about USD 10 billion in 2022 to USD 30 billion in 2024, reaching USD 106 billion in 2026.
  • Market expectations imply Nvidia profit of USD 353 billion in 2028, raising the key question of how long exceptional growth persists.
  • Rising competition, including from China, could compress margins as AI performance reaches “good enough,” shifting focus to where growth “lands.”
