The earnings season is in full swing, and investors are eagerly watching how investments in artificial intelligence (AI) at S&P 500 companies will bear fruit. Analysts expect a slowdown in profit growth, with a forecasted increase in S&P 500 earnings of 5.3% compared to the same quarter last year—a noticeable of a noticeable decrease compared to the 13.2% rise in the second quarter, according to Reuters news agency. The technology and communication sectors, in particular, are expected to show strong growth, with estimated profit increases of 15.4% and 12.3%, respectively. AI-related firms continue to dominate earnings reports since last year, resulting in significant market gains. The S&P 500 is at a record high, largely due to the strong performance in the technology and communication sector, which has led to a rise of about 21% since the beginning of the year. According to Howard Chan, CEO of Kurv Investment Management, analysts are eager to see how major companies are monetizing their AI initiatives. Companies that succeed in this regard will be particularly rewarded. Meta has experienced a share price increase following the release of strong revenue growth forecasts, indicating that its digital advertising income is effectively supporting AI investments. In contrast, Google's high expenditures on AI technologies raise questions about how these can be integrated into existing business models. The S&P 500 is currently trading at 22.3 times the future 12-month earnings expectations, surpassing its long-term average of 15.7. Many investors hope that this quarter's results will justify higher stock valuations. Solita Marcelli from UBS Global Wealth Management is optimistic that upcoming third-quarter results could trigger further gains, especially as the semiconductor sector remains a focal point for AI investments. Vertiv Holdings Co stands out in this scenario as a significant player in the field of critical digital infrastructures. The company, which develops technologies and services for data centers as well as communication and industrial environments, received a price target upgrade to $125 from Evercore ISI, accompanied by an Outperform rating. Given the growing demand for higher server density in the liquid cooling market, Evercore ISI sees Vertiv as uniquely positioned to meet the increasing energy and thermal management demands in AI data centers. Not only will overall revenue per MW increase, according to the consulting firm, but sales and margins could also accelerate in the coming years. Vertiv currently ranks 13th among trending AI stocks, yet there are AI stocks that may deliver higher returns in a shorter time frame.
