This week, T.J. Thornton, Head of Research Marketing at BofA Global Research, fills in for Candace Browning to explore the resources and technologies powering the next phase of AI. We examine whether quantum computing can help address AI’s growing energy demands, why billion-dollar startups remain remarkably rare despite the surge in AI unicorns, and how data centers, grids and electric vehicles are tightening the global copper market.

Chip stocks retreat but AI spend advances; upcycle has room to run
AI Semis: Spending strong, investor concerns build AI capex has seen upward revisions for years, and estimates for many semiconductor stocks have followed. Positioning in the semiconductor index may have gotten excessive around the June highs, but there have also been less positive developments since, from cancelled IPOs to widening credit spreads for neocloud companies. Combined with continued concerns around open models and AI pricing, these developments have fueled investor fears about the pace of AI spending growth. Vivek Arya joins the podcast to discuss his latest views on semiconductors, what the group needs to resume its upward trend, the sustainability of memory pricing, and how developments in AI models and efficiency could impact chip demand. He also looks to past semiconductor cycles for clues on how much longer this upcycle may last.

Must Read Research: The Great AI Debate
In this episode of Must Read Research on Global Research Unlocked, Candace Browning examines the trillion-dollar question facing AI: can returns ultimately justify the enormous investment going into it? We explore the potential $1.5 trillion annual AI subscription opportunity, increasingly crowded investor positioning in Technology and semiconductors, and how AI agents could reshape travel by influencing which flights and hotels consumers see. We also turn to Bitcoin, where a new valuation framework examines whether the asset has been left behind as investors have crowded into AI, and what ETF flows, adoption, and macro conditions could mean for the outlook.
