Jefferies chief global strategist Chris Wood advises investors to focus on memory chip makers like Micron, Samsung Electronics, and SK Hynix instead of AI hyperscalers such as Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet. This recommendation comes amid growing concerns about the heavy capital commitments hyperscalers are making toward AI development, which may pose financial risks. Memory chip makers, seen as essential suppliers in the AI ecosystem, have been outperforming hyperscalers recently. Investors are encouraged to bet on these 'picks and shovels' companies ahead of a critical stress test in the AI sector.
