AI-driven EPS growth forecasts for the S&P 500 are at unprecedented highs, expecting a 25% compound annual growth rate and tripling earnings over five years, which is considered unlikely.

US hyperscale tech firms face rising capital expenditures, negative free cash flow, and competition from efficient Chinese AI models, raising concerns about their long-term sustainability. The analyst recommends reducing exposure to AI stocks, avoiding leverage, and favoring stable old economy stocks, predicting the Dow Jones will outperform the Nasdaq 100 in the coming year.
