Summary
Capital Economics warned that a collapse of the AI investment bubble could send US stocks down roughly 30%. The firm points to stretched valuations and heavy market concentration in AI-linked assets as the main channels of risk. The call adds to the ongoing public debate over whether AI is in an investment bubble.
Bubble analysis
This is a named research institution explicitly taking a position on whether AI is a bubble, and attaching a quantified downside (roughly a 30% market decline), which makes it direct evidence in the bubble debate. However, no specific valuation, capex or revenue figures are given, so it is an argument rather than hard data.
