Wall Street analysts are pricing in ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. Analysts are forecasting roughly 25% annual earnings growth for the S&P 500 over the next five years — a pace that has only been matched once in history – coming out of the Great Depression in the 1930s. But here’s the reality: those forecasts are heavily dependent on one major assumption — that the AI investment boom continues exactly as expected. If the AI buildout slows, adoption disappoints, or the massive spending cycle doesn’t translate into the productivity gains investors are expecting, earnings estimates will have to come down. And remember: valuations are built on forward earnings expectations. If the “perfect AI future” gets revised lower, stocks that look fairly valued today may suddenly look very expensive. The biggest market risk isn’t just high valuations. It’s unrealistic expectations. #Investing #StockMarket #AI #finance
