This is The Markets.

I'm Chris Hussey, and today is Wednesday, May 13th, and I'm here on the Goldman Sachs trading floor with Sean Tateja,

who oversees the ETF and Custom Basket's Vol Options Trading Desk within Global Banking and Markets.

Sean, thanks so much for joining us.

It's always fun to be on.

All right, Sean.

SPX is up 16 percent.

NASDAQ's up 26 percent.

I think semis are up like 70 percent off those March 30th lows.

What's going on?

What happened?

Yeah, it's amazing because we're still in the middle of a large geopolitical conflict where oil prices are still very elevated.

And as you mentioned, you just look at it and S&P is up 8% on the year now.

NASDAQ is up about 15% or 16% on the year.

Semis, you know, they go up every single day, it feels like.

And it really feels to me like it's a tale of two markets.

There's the AI stocks within U.S equities and anything that's related to the AI trade, whether it's the hyperscalers, the semiconductors, the data centers, the equipment,

and then there's the rest of the market.

And the indices that you mentioned, the S&P, the NASDAQ, so much of the concentration in those is now these AI names.

And so we've just gone through another earning season just about here in the S&P.

We're about 90% of the way through, and EPS growth is tracking at plus 17% year over year,

which is the sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit earnings growth.

Now, as remarkable as that is, what's even more remarkable is

that the expectations for the next 12 months of EPS growth have now been ticking up to plus 13%.

And if you look at it, in one way, you would say, well, the S&P is up 8% year to date.

EPS growth over the next 12 months is up 13%.

So the multiple has actually compressed from 22 to 21 times.

So if anything, earnings are doing most of the heavy lifting.

Now, that's not to say

that a 21 times multiple is historically cheap by any metrics based on everything that's going on in the world.

But I think what it does show is that so much of these indices are concentrated to AI.

And the AI story is still fundamentally intact in terms of earnings.

And they're still growing at a very rapid rate.

Yeah, that's a great point.

AI is driving so much earnings.

It's funny, though, because going into the year, we had this call around halo stocks outperforming even the AI stocks, and it was working.

What happened to that?

You're talking about a tale of two markets.

What happened to the other side of the market, that halo side?

It's amazing because when we sat here three months ago and did this podcast at the beginning of the year, the whole theme around the market was a broadening out trade.

It was that the conventional leaders, U.S tech, hyperscalers, et cetera, were getting sold in exchange for more cyclical equities to start the year.

The view was that there was going to be above trend growth,

below trend inflation and a Federal Reserve who could start cutting rates as soon as the summer into a very hot economy.

And so a lot of our clients at the beginning of the year said in a world that has plentiful growth, we should be looking for names in the home builder space,

in the consumer space, which was supposed to get relief from the tax refunds

that were part of the one big beautiful bill last year, as well as from potentially the Supreme Court striking down tariffs, which ended up happening.

And there were a lot of things to get bullish on in terms of the real economy, whether it be as well the industrials, what we call the cyclical equities.

And what's ended up happening is you can't really see it in the price of S&P because it's so dominated by AI.

But there has been a real growth shock and inflation shock

because of how high oil prices have been because of the geopolitical conflict that we're seeing right now.

And so that's affected a lot of these cyclical equities.

And we're seeing this massive rotation back into the hyperscalers back into the AI names as people view

that story as more inelastic demand and able to withstand the things that the consumers aren't.

Because now we're in a really murky macro world where there's very high inflation

and we thought the Fed was going to be cutting.

Now we're hearing clients say that the next move might actually be a hike just given

that we had an extremely high PPI this morning, really high CPI yesterday, and the growth numbers are starting to deteriorate and the Fed might be a little handcuffed,

which is not a good setup for the rest of the economy or the real economy, we should say.

So square the circle there, because, you know, as you pointed out, six straight quarters of double digit EPS gains.

But all this ahead of us, maybe a Fed hike.

And as you say, the real economy actually showing some stress.

Are we in a bubble?

No, I don't think we're in a bubble.

And the way that I define a bubble would be you have a stock

or a group of stocks that go up for, call it a day, a month, a year, two years, whatever it is, on air.

and when the bubble pops, so to speak, they go back to the levels that they were at to start all of this.

And when I look at the AI complex, there are a lot of things that fundamentally are working in that complex.

If you look at the hyperscalers, they've committed to spend $755 billion this year in CapEx, which that number is just completely mind-blowing.

That's up 38% year over year in terms of CapEx growth.

And that's why the semiconductor earnings are always beating because there's just so much CapEx going into the trade.

So do I think that when things start to draw down

that they're going to go back to levels that we saw two years ago?

No, I don't.

But what I will say is that we have something called the GS risk appetite indicator, which is effectively a measure of how willing our clients are to take risk

and how willing the market is to put on risk.

That's at five-year highs.

You look at our prime book, semiconductor exposure is making new record highs every single day.

And so what I do think the market is underappreciating is that even in uptrends, you can have two-way volatility.

Things don't just go up all the time, they can also have violent corrections.

And we haven't really seen that.

And what worries me a bit more about the market right now, especially the semiconductors and AI story, is how much leverage there is in the system.

There are a lot of levered ETF products that have launched

that get you two times exposure to semiconductors or three times exposure to semiconductors.

And those products inherently are what we call short gamma products, meaning to keep their constant leverage on days when the underlier is up, they need to buy a bunch on the rebalance.

And when days when it goes down, they need to sell a lot.

And so the reason that worries me is as leverage increases and as positioning and exposure increases,

you could have a moment where something fundamental comes out that's negative and a stock should be down 3%.

But because of all these deleveraging forces that exist in the market, 3% can turn into 10% very quickly on the downside, just like we've seen it turn into that on the upside.

And I think that that's something that's underappreciated.

Now, does that mean that we're in a bubble because we can have a 10 or 20 percent drawdown?

Absolutely not.

But it does mean that there could be some two-way volatility in the market.

That's a great point.

When you have a forced seller in there in a leverage situation, it can exacerbate downturns.

Talk to me a little bit more about the AI trade then.

Where is it now?

What's the theme that you want to play in that AI trade?

You know, so for the past three, three and a half years, AI has been the talk of not just the U.S markets now, but even more so now recently, the international markets.

And when I look at the evolution of the AI trade, you know, at the end of 2022, beginning of 2023, it started with people looking for the picks and shovels, which were the semiconductors.

100

Then it kind of expanded to the people funding AI, which are the hyperscalers via CapEx.

101

And then it transitioned to the data centers, the people who are powering the AI trade, and then AI equipment.

102

So in the last six months, what's really been in trend has been memory chips.

103

Memory chips are things that have been around for decades.

104

But now that there's an AI application, there is a lot of euphoria in names that have to do with AI memory.

105

More recently, it's shifted to fiber optic cables,

106

which are effectively the cables that allow for high-speed transfer of data within these AI data centers.

107

And those are more efficient than the previously used copper cables.

108

And so this optical networking theme is up over 100% year to date.

109

Yeah, it's fascinating.

110

It's almost like walking through the AI hardware store and trying to pick out the shovels that we're short of.

111

Absolutely.

112

That's a great idea.

113

All right.

114

So what's the tray.

115

Our baskets team sees the next spinoff or the next iteration of the AI equipment trade being within liquid cooling.

116

So traditional data centers consume a lot of electricity using traditional air cooling systems.

117

Almost as much goes into cooling as it does to actually producing the AI.

118

But with liquid cooling technology you can significantly reduce by as much as 10 times the amount of electricity

119

that goes towards cooling.

120

And you can shift that more towards the power and distribution of actually fueling the AI trade.

121

And so we think that's where the puck is going.

122

The theme's up about 30 percent year to date.

123

And we're seeing that trend catch on with a lot of data centers looking for that type of equipment.

124

All right.

125

We're in the middle of May.

126

Traditionally, this is selling May.

127

Go away.

128

What are you looking for, though, over the next month or two?

129

I think the most important thing is to watch back-end bond yields.

130

So this morning, as we're talking, 30-year yields have eclipsed the 5% mark, which is a huge psychological level to even equity investors who

131

look at yields for a lot of their tech investments or a lot of their more levered equity investments, etc. And I think that,

132

again, it speaks to the tough position that we're in with rising inflation into a potentially weaker growth environment.

133

We also have about 10 to 15 percent of the earnings season left with the largest company in the United States, largest company in the world reporting earnings next week,

134

which will continue to show signs of how CapEx is being spent in the AI trade

135

and the next steps of the AI trade.

136

And then lastly, you have the U.S and China meeting this week.

137

And I think that that's really important because when you look at China equities, those have been the notable underperformer in terms of the rest of the world.

138

You've had such strong performance in Japan, Korea, Brazil.

139

And I think that a lot of investors are looking to China as are things going to open up more?

140

And are some of the China tech companies and China AI an investable story going forward?

141

And maybe we'll learn more after these meetings.

142

Yeah, three important things to look at.

143

Rates, semis, and China.

144

We will keep our eyes open.

145

Sean, thanks so much for joining us today.

146

Thank you for having me.

147

That does it for this week's episode of The Markets.

148

I'm Chris Hussey.

149

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
