Goldman Sachs strategist warns of AI-driven earnings bubble amid capital competition

Peter Oppenheimer, Goldman Sachs' chief global equity strategist, has updated his concerns about a potential "earnings bubble" in technology stocks. His latest report, "Competition for Capital," now links this risk directly to the increasing competition for capital between AI infrastructure spending and government borrowing. Oppenheimer cites data showing significant growth in capital spending by tech issuers and a record level of U.S. convertible bond issuance, with AI-related borrowers accounting for a substantial portion of this supply.
