WS #16364
A broad rotation out of growth stocks is accelerating, with Technology and Communication Services posting the worst five-session returns while Consumer Staples and Utilities lead. This selloff is driven by a combination of regulatory overhangs, particularly against Meta, and a macro environment where high rates favor defensive yields. The divergence suggests a loss of confidence in high-multiple valuations, with capital flowing toward stable cash flows and essential services. Bloom Energy reported a 36% earnings beat, driven by surging demand for reliable power solutions in the AI data center sector. This performance underscores the structural bottleneck in power infrastructure for tech expansion, benefiting specialized energy and fuel-cell providers. The result highlights that while tech stocks are selling off, the underlying infrastructure build-out remains robust and capital-intensive.
