WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Analysts express concern that the AI-driven rally has pushed Nasdaq 100 valuations to levels that may not be sustainable given future earnings growth prospects. The index's recent highs, fueled by AI optimism, have prompted investors to question the justification of such elevated valuations.
