UBS states that China's A-share 'technology sector' has already shown four topping signals—but could still rise nearly 50%. What’s your take on this?

Typical analyst rhetoric: If the market rises tomorrow, it means today’s rally hasn’t ended yet. If the market falls tomorrow, it means today’s rally has ended. If a stock climbs from 50 to 100 this month, I’ll set a target price of 150—and fabricate three AI-generated reasons. If it drops from 100 to 50 this month, I’ll set a target price of 30—and fabricate three AI-generated crisis scenarios.

Amid mounting 'AI concerns,' UBS’s buy-side team has 'counter-cyclically upgraded' its global equity rating.

Even amid widespread market concerns over an AI bubble, UBS’s buy-side team remains counter-cyclically optimistic about the global equity outlook. Its rationale for upgrading equities at current elevated levels is precisely what matters most. — Capital expenditures by 'AI giants' continue to grow. Why is UBS’s buy-side team upgrading its equity rating now? UBS’s buy-side analysts point out: Recently, mega-cap tech firms and AI chipmakers have signed multi-billion-dollar partnership agreements—further bolstering our confidence that AI-related capital expenditures will exceed expectations and remain robust for an extended period. AI applications extend far beyond chatbots. Investor expectations for growth in agentic AI (AI systems capable of autonomous decision-making and action) and physical AI (e.g., robotics and autonomous vehicles) underpin large tech companies’ commitment to sustained high-level capital spending. "Even in the medium term, the nearly $1 trillion in AI capital expenditures currently planned may fall short of actual requirements—so we believe investment could continue rising next year," notes UBS Wealth Management’s Investment Office. — Cyclical sectors stand to benefit. This buy-side report also highlights: Global economic growth is exceeding expectations—providing support for corporate earnings. UBS has raised its forecasts for S&P 500 earnings per share (EPS) in 2025 and 2026: We now expect EPS of $275 (a 10% year-on-year increase) in 2025 and $295 (a 7% year-on-year increase) in 2026—both up $5 from prior forecasts. Moreover, the Federal Reserve resumed its rate-cutting cycle in September, with further cuts expected. Rate cuts outside of recessionary conditions are generally supportive for equities.
