【环球财经】星展银行：警惕AI泡沫风险 建议超配债券与亚洲资产

Core Insights - The report by DBS Bank highlights the need for a defensive asset allocation strategy in 2026 due to rising "fiscal dominance" risks and persistent inflation, recommending an overweight in bonds and gold while focusing on valuation recovery opportunities in Asian equities excluding Japan [1][3]. AI Bubble Debate - The report analyzes the current "AI bubble" concerns, noting that while the U.S. stock market exhibits bubble-like characteristics, the macroeconomic conditions are more favorable compared to the 2000 internet bubble, with the Federal Reserve in a rate-cutting cycle and major tech firms maintaining strong cash flows [2]. - The capital expenditure for generative AI is currently about 1.2% of U.S. GDP, significantly lower than the 5.0% during the 19th-century railroad bubble and the 5.1% during the 2000 tech bubble, indicating that current investment levels are manageable relative to the economy [2]. - Investors are advised to shift focus from AI infrastructure to "Adapters," large non-tech companies that can leverage AI to enhance operational efficiency and profitability [2]. Macro Challenges - The report warns of an "extreme era" shaped by geopolitical changes and U.S. debt issues, with U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio reaching 100% and high interest payments posing "fiscal dominance" risks, potentially leading to a long-term rise in inflation [3]. - Investors are encouraged to allocate to physical assets to hedge against inflation, with a maintained overweight rating on gold due to concerns over U.S. fiscal sustainability and geopolitical uncertainties [3]. Asset Allocation - DBS Bank's model indicates that bonds are currently more attractive than stocks, recommending an overweight in fixed income assets and focusing on high-quality investment-grade bonds while avoiding high-yield bonds with poor risk-reward ratios [4]. - In the equity market, a more nuanced allocation strategy is suggested, with a strong overweight rating on Asian equities (excluding Japan) due to a 32.4% discount compared to developed markets and a projected earnings growth of 18.9% for 2026, surpassing the 11.8% expected for developed markets [4]. - The report highlights potential for further gains in the Chinese market driven by policy stimulus, a rebound in AI-related capital expenditures, and improved corporate earnings outlook [4]. - For the European market, while maintaining a lower allocation stance, the report suggests focusing on the defense sector, which is expected to see a 24% earnings growth in 2026 as NATO members commit to increasing defense spending to 5% of GDP [4]. - Additionally, the report recommends allocating some funds to alternative assets, including private equity and hedge funds, to diversify risks amid increasing market volatility [4].
