Mondrian's Q2 2026 outlook highlights the narrowing of global market strength around a small number of AI-related winners, with market concentration reaching all-time highs. While the firm remains structurally bullish on long-term AI adoption, it expresses cyclical caution on current equity market valuations. AI infrastructure spending has grown large enough to drive macroeconomic growth, particularly in the US, but the scale of investment now depends on debt and equity markets rather than free cash flow alone, adding fragility to the cycle. The manager warns that semiconductor companies are priced for extraordinary growth rates to persist indefinitely, yet supply shortages are not permanent and capacity will eventually catch up. Alphabet's recent $80 billion equity raise exemplifies both the potential for further AI buildout and the increasing dependence on market appetite for funding. The extreme concentration in US, Taiwan, Korea, and EM indices contrasts with the more balanced MSCI EAFE opportunity set. Mondrian sees attractive opportunities in high-ROIC businesses outside the AI winners that have lagged, applying its DDM methodology to identify mispriced securities with strong alpha potential and defensive characteristics.
Mondrian is structurally bullish on long-term AI adoption but cyclically cautious on how that optimism is currently reflected in equity markets, particularly given extreme market concentration, elevated valuations, and the increasing dependence of AI infrastructure spending on external financing rather than free cash flow.
The manager expects significant market volatility in the coming years stemming from economic disruption related to AI investment. While the long-term outlook for AI remains compelling, the increasing reliance on external financing, elevated valuations, and unprecedented market concentration warrant caution. The manager anticipates that AI adoption can continue to expand rapidly even as growth in infrastructure spending decelerates, creating a disconnect between structural opportunity and near-term market expectations.

Mondrian maintains overweight Japan position based on attractive valuations and accelerating corporate governance reforms. Despite yen volatility from carry trade unwinding, Japanese holdings outperformed in Q3. Share buybacks hit record highs while cross-shareholding unwinding accelerates. The yen remains materially undervalued per PPP analysis. Firm added domestic exposure while reducing cyclical positions, confident in long-term value unlock potential. |

Mondrian's disciplined valuation approach targets attractively priced segments globally. |

Tokyo Stock Exchange reforms requiring return on capital explanations, unwinding cross-shareholdings, and strong earnings growth create compelling investment case.

| Mar 31 2023 | 2023 Q1 | - | Banking, Credit Stress, global, growth, rates, value, volatility | 7203 JP | Banking stress drove extreme growth-value divergence in Q1 2023, with regional bank failures creating market volatility. While the crisis appears contained unlike the GFC, tighter credit conditions and ongoing monetary policy tensions create uncertainty. Mondrian's scenario analysis approach should prove valuable in navigating this environment of significant economic uncertainty and substantial market opportunity divergence. |

AIManager is structurally bullish on long-term AI adoption but cyclically cautious on current equity market valuations. AI infrastructure spending has become large enough to drive macroeconomic growth, but the scale of investment now depends on debt and equity markets rather than free cash flow alone, adding fragility. The manager warns that supply shortages are not permanent and that maintaining extraordinary growth rates becomes mathematically harder as absolute spending increases. |
Hyperscalers Capex Infrastructure Compute Adoption |
SemiconductorsThe semiconductor sector has benefited from scarcity pricing, aggressive customer pre-orders, and unprecedented capital spending, driving strong earnings and elevated expectations. However, the manager cautions that as capacity catches up and growth rates moderate, the current profit pool may prove unsustainable. Advances in workload routing and inference efficiency could reduce compute intensity even as AI adoption expands. |
Scarcity pricing Capex Growth rates Profit pool | |
Data CentersData center investment is a key component of the AI buildout, supporting short-term earnings momentum across the supply chain including power equipment, networking, and cloud infrastructure. The manager notes that AI-related spending on data centers has grown large enough to have macroeconomic relevance, particularly in the US, but warns that overcapacity risk exists as in prior technology cycles. |
Supply chain Power Networking Cloud infrastructure | |
Market ConcentrationEquity market concentration is at all-time highs, with markets unusually dependent on a small number of very large AI-related companies. This concentration has worked in investors' favor during the rally but leaves markets vulnerable to a correction in those names. The manager highlights that MSCI USA, Taiwan, Korea, and EM indices show extreme concentration in their top 5 stocks, while MSCI EAFE remains the most balanced. |
Index concentration Top 5 stocks Fragility Diversification | |
ValuationThe manager expresses concern that many leading AI beneficiaries are priced as though extraordinary growth rates can persist for an extended period. Elevated valuations combined with unprecedented market concentration suggest investors should distinguish between AI's structural opportunity and the cyclical risks embedded in current expectations. The manager sees attractive opportunities elsewhere in high-ROIC businesses that have historically been too expensive for value managers. |
