It's time to be 'selective' with Big Tech: Nuveen CIO
Several 'Magnificent Seven' names have announced major investments in AI technology after reporting strong earnings. Yahoo Finance Anchors Brian Sozzi and Akiko Fujita are joined by Nuveen CEO Saira Malik at the Annual Milken Global Institute Conference to discuss whether there has been an overallocation in Big Tech names, leading to possible underperformance. "I think it's the year of being selective, and you saw that last week with Meta (META), which actually put up a good quarter with 27% revenue growth. But the whisper numbers were for 30% revenue growth. Stock goes down because it's over over-owned. Now you look at Apple (AAPL), where if you look at the fundamentals of the quarter, it's more about the next iPhone cycle seasonality, trade. But the stock was under-owned. So Apple goes up. So I think that crowding in these tech stocks is important for these stocks," Malik tells Yahoo Finance.
