Скачать или смотреть Valuations Are Falling for a Reason: AI Is Repricing the Future

In this week's video, I make the case that what's happening in software is not a rotation or a cycle — it is a structural regime shift that will define markets for the next decade. The S&P is flat year-to-date, yet 185 stocks have posted greater than 15% absolute moves in both directions, double the 81 names we saw on this same day last year. That level of dispersion has only been matched twice in 30 years: during the dot-com bust and the GFC. In both cases, credit spreads eventually widened. We're not there yet but the warning signs are multiplying.
The SaaS thesis is simple: you cannot forecast revenues three years out in a world where software can be created in seconds, where entrepreneurs are building bespoke solutions with AI rather than buying enterprise licenses, and where Chinese open-source models are already capturing 47% combined AI market share globally at 80–90% lower cost than U.S. frontier models. Anthropic's gross margins are forecast to fall to 40% even as it wins the inference race. Oracle faces a shareholder lawsuit for committing to $5 trillion in compute capex against revenue projections that may never materialize. This is not an AI bubble it is a deflationary spiral driven by hyper-competition, and it is eating the long-duration asset base from the bottom up.
Credit is the canary. Blue Owl halting redemptions, private equity down six weeks in a row, software OAS spreads diverging sharply from CDX high yield — this is where the next systemic fear comes from. If software debt losses spike, the knock-on to hyperscaler capex plans could be severe. Bitcoin remains correlated to SaaS for now, but I continue to believe it leads the next move higher when SaaS finally finds a floor it is the only growth asset AI cannot disrupt.
