In 2026, the rapid advancement of AI technology has triggered significant shifts in capital markets, leading to a surge in investment in 'HALO' stocks—companies with heavy assets and low obsolescence. As AI capabilities expand, industries reliant on software and information asymmetry have seen their stock values plummet. For instance, IBM experienced a 13% drop in a single day, losing $31 billion in market value, as AI began automating tasks traditionally performed by these companies. The term 'HALO', coined by U.S. asset manager Josh Brown, refers to companies that AI cannot easily replace, such as Delta Air Lines, which saw an 8.3% rise, compared to Expedia's 6% fall. This shift has been reflected in the S&P 500, where sectors like energy and materials have risen significantly, while tech stocks have declined. Meanwhile, in China, investors are embracing AI's potential, with companies like Tencent and Alibaba leveraging AI to enhance their business lines, contrasting with the U.S. market's focus on AI's disruptive potential.
