Core Investment Trends - Morgan Stanley identifies three core investment themes for the stock market over the next 12 months: AI computing power leaders and software giants benefiting from the AI wave, semiconductor equipment themes benefiting from favorable policies under the Trump administration, and essential consumer goods leaders amid a fragmented consumption chain [1][2]. AI Computing Power and Software Giants - The demand for AI computing power is experiencing explosive growth, driven by significant investments in AI infrastructure by the U.S. government and tech giants, indicating a bullish outlook for companies like Nvidia, TSMC, and Broadcom [6][10]. - Analysts predict that major tech companies, including Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon, will spend over $350 billion on AI computing infrastructure in 2023, representing a nearly 50% year-over-year growth [6][10]. - By 2025, AI-related capital expenditures in tech companies are expected to reach 28%, up from 12% in 2023, with AI applications driving significant increases in efficiency and productivity [7][11]. Semiconductor Equipment Beneficiaries - The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA) is expected to significantly boost free cash flow for U.S. manufacturing companies, particularly in the semiconductor equipment sector, as companies shift production back to the U.S. [13][14]. - Semiconductor equipment leaders are positioned to benefit from the unprecedented demand for AI chips, with companies like ASML and Applied Materials playing crucial roles in the manufacturing process [15][16]. Essential Consumer Goods Amid Consumption Fragmentation - The market is witnessing a divergence in performance, with essential consumer goods companies expected to show resilient growth while discretionary spending is under pressure [17][18]. - High-income consumers are less affected by inflation and continue to spend on non-essential items, while low-income consumers are shifting towards cheaper alternatives, leading to a stark contrast in consumption patterns [18].
