Webull CEO Anthony Denier reveals that retail investors now hold a wider range of AI-related stocks, growing from 3% to 9% over two years. This shift shows confidence in AI as a long-term investment, with interest spreading beyond headline chip stocks like Nvidia and AMD to include semiconductor equipment, memory, data centers, and networking. Investors are adopting a more research-driven approach, buying selectively even during market dips, and diversifying across the AI supply chain. This trend suggests retail investors see AI as a structural theme, not just a short-term trade, though concentration risk remains a consideration during volatility.
