Goldman Sachs: AI Reshapes the Market, “HALO” Concept Stocks Become the New Trend

Goldman Sachs: AI Reshapes the Market, “HALO” Concept Stocks Become the New Trend

Goldman Sachs stated that in an era marked by artificial intelligence disrupting markets, rising real yields, and a fragmented geopolitical landscape, investors are flocking to stocks with the “HALO effect” (heavy assets, low obsolescence rates).

Goldman Sachs strategists, including Guillaume Jaisson, wrote in a report: “The market is rewarding assets that have capacity, networks, infrastructure, and engineering barriers—these are costly to replicate and less affected by technological iteration and obsolescence.”

The capital-intensive stock portfolio compiled by Goldman Sachs has outperformed the asset-light portfolio by 35% since 2025, with asset intensity becoming a key driver of valuation and returns.

Goldman Sachs noted that fiscal expansion, rising replacement costs, regionalization and reshoring of industries, and a manufacturing rebound all benefit capital-intensive sectors.

“Funds continue to flow into value strategies, and at the same time, investors are looking to diversify away from crowded US tech stocks, which is further driving capital toward capital-intensive assets—yet the long-term allocation to these assets remains far from excessive.”

The market widely expects that earnings per share (EPS) growth for capital-intensive companies will accelerate and their return on equity (ROE) will continue to improve, while ROE for asset-light stocks is expected to remain stable.

Market Focus: The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index Is Approaching a Key Support Level

The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) is currently hovering at the critical threshold of 11,200 points—the 21-day moving average has crossed below the 50-day moving average, and if this level is lost, there will be a vacuum zone down to the 200-day moving average. The "self-circulating" financing model of AI capital has raised concerns about the sustainability of demand, and the divergence between Mag 7 capital expenditures and SOX has reached a historic extreme. However, position unwinding and seasonal shifts may lay the groundwork for a rebound, meaning the tug-of-war between bulls and bears is happening right now.
