Yesterday’s market action made the message pretty clear: AI hardware took pressure, while cybersecurity stocks moved sharply higher.
The debate isn’t necessarily about stopping AI. It’s about giving security, governance and infrastructure time to catch up with the speed of AI deployment.
Trump’s live call with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was also telling. Huang pushed back on the idea of an AI slowdown, reinforcing the view that the U.S. intends to keep moving aggressively in AI.
But whether AI accelerates or slows temporarily, one thing doesn’t change:
More AI = more attack surfaces.
That puts cybersecurity directly in the middle of the next phase.
$CRWD
,
$PANW
,
$ZS
and
$OKTA
all showed strong relative strength yesterday, with investors rotating toward identity, endpoint, cloud and AI-security infrastructure.
My focus now is less on “AI slowdown” and more on where AI spending is being redirected.
If AI keeps expanding, security demand expands with it.
