Fundstrat's research director Tom Lee stated that although the "Tech Seven" have emerged from the downturn, the overall market risks have not been alleviated, and other sectors may gradually enter a "rolling bear market" later in 2026.He believes that the demand for AI remains strong, which will support the major indices in maintaining resilience by the end of the year, but internal market differentiation will intensify.

He mentioned that the semiconductor sector has shown signs of overheating, but in the short term, capital momentum still leans towards AI suppliers and tech leaders, while other industries may gradually enter an adjustment phase.
