AllianceBernstein sees rising market risks strengthening case for defensive equities
  • AllianceBernstein sees a stronger case for defensive equities as AI financing risks, rising interest rates and persistent inflation threaten stock returns.
  • AI capital spending growth could slow sharply after peaking in 2026, while major spenders’ aggregate free cash flow turns negative.
  • Revenue needed to justify AI spending plans exceeds plausible near-term projections, increasing reliance on external financing as borrowing costs rise.
  • Stocks combining quality, stability and attractive valuations have historically performed well during high, rising Treasury yields and periods of higher inflation.
