The Dow maintained gains in afternoon trading, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq slid. The blue chip index was up 0.7%, or 461 points, despite sharing some of the same components dragging on the Nasdaq and the S&P 500. The key to the Dow's resilience during Wednesday's session is its price-weighted structure.

In this segment of the AI Investor Podcast from 24/7 Wall St., Eric Bleeker lays out his framework for evaluating the AI trade, describing it as a stool resting on three legs: technological progress, real-world adoption, and the ability to finance the buildout. Two legs he considers extremely strong. On progress, he points to Nvidia's backing of a straight-shot superintelligence effort, ongoing gains in training and model capability, and expectations of highly capable autonomous models at roughly human level, at scale, within a year. On adoption, he cites OpenAI's monthly revenue now exceeding its prior full quarter, Microsoft noting that 90% of cloud demand comes from outside the frontier labs, and Google's 82% cloud growth. Adoption is uneven, concentrated among a relatively small group of heavy users, but strong. Financing is the weak leg and the source of most current fear. Bleeker estimates $700 to $800 billion in AI data center spending this year, growing to roughly $1.2 trillion next year, against a financing ceiling he places somewhere between $1.5 and $2 trillion annually. With 2028 expectations near $1.4 trillion, the market is approaching that ceiling, which is why valuation now dominates stock selection. A company historically worth 15 times earnings trading at 40 times its 2028 or 2029 numbers is hard to defend. He closes with three points: the selloff is likely closer to its end than its beginning, macro risks remain including a possible September rate rise and soft GDP, and for anyone sidelined by prior valuations, this is arguably the most attractive entry point since spring 2025.
