JPMorgan's Pinto Warns of Possible ‘Correction’ in Al
Valuations
Valuations in the booming Al industry are due for a reassessment, according
to JPMorgan Chase & Co. Vice Chairman Daniel Pinto.
Speaking at the Bloomberg Africa Business Summit in Johannesburg today,
Pinto also warned that any decline would reverberate across the stock
market.
Pinto warned:
44 “There is probably a correction there.
That correction will also create a correction in the rest of the segment, the S&P
and in the industry.”
Concern has been growing in recent weeks that the valuations of the world’s
largest technology companies could have risen too high, based on an overly
optimistic view of how quickly Al would delivery productivity benefits.
As Pinto explains:
44 “In order to justify these valuations, you are considering a level of
productivity that, it will happen, but it may not happen as fast as the market is
pricing now.”
