Summary: The performance story remains consistent, the artificial intelligence theme continues to attract investment capital and is responsible for the majority of S&P 500 and NASDAQ index gains. It is estimated by Barron’s magazine that “within the S&P 500, companies related to the (AI) theme gained 14.7% in market value this past quarter, whereas the rest lost 1.2%.” This is reflected in the widely dispersed returns amongst the indexes as the more broadly constituted DJIA lags the more tech and growth populated NASDAQ and S&P 500. Year to date gains all remain positive with returns of 18.1%, 14.5% and 3.8% for the NASDAQ, the S&P 500, and the DJIA, respectively.
