AI Rally Begins 2026 With ETF Zeal, Broadcom Orders and TSMC Lead, as Dalio Flags Bubble Risk

Survey data show most AI investors plan to maintain or increase exposure, reflecting expectations for heavy 2026 infrastructure spending.

Overview

  • New survey results indicate nearly two-thirds of investors see AI as a long‑term portfolio anchor, with over 90% of current AI stock and ETF holders intending to hold or add.
  • Goldman Sachs estimates AI infrastructure outlays could reach about $527 billion in 2026, reinforcing the case for broad exposure through AI-focused ETFs.
  • The Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF now manages $7.41 billion, as investors increasingly favor basket approaches while hyperscaler headline correlations ease.
  • Broadcom is highlighted as a key AI chip supplier, with partnerships spanning Alphabet and OpenAI, a reported $21 billion TPU order from Anthropic, and Citigroup projecting AI revenue above $50 billion this fiscal year with another doubling in fiscal 2027.
  • TSMC is described as the leading manufacturer capable of producing advanced chips at scale, a position that confers pricing power and a central role in high-end GPU and AI ASIC supply, even as Ray Dalio warns the AI surge shows early bubble traits.
