AI could squeeze non-tech stocks as credit concerns grow

The outlook points to slower earnings expansion outside tech and rising worries about credit risk.

Reported · Written up by our desk · Sectors

AI is increasingly expected to dominate market performance, leaving investors with more challenging conditions for stocks outside the technology sector, according to WSJ Markets.

The outlet also said earnings for non-tech areas may expand more slowly, and that concerns about credit risk are likely to grow as investors look beyond AI-linked growth.
