Historical Context

The dot-com bubble burst in 2000, causing a market downturn where companies like Amazon and eBay lost over 90% of their stock value. Today, GQG Partners warns that the current AI spending boom, which saw investments rise from $18 billion in 2014 to $119 billion in 2021, may reflect similar overvaluation risks, potentially impacting various sectors beyond technology.
