"Moon Capital warns of an undeniable, highly speculative AI-driven bubble reminiscent of 1999, advocating a disciplined, fundamental focus on cash flow and earnings over hype."
Moon Capital Management's Q3 2025 letter draws striking, historically detailed parallels between the current artificial intelligence investment frenzy and the 1998-1999 dot-com bubble. The fund reports a 12.3% YTD return for its equity portfolio. It critiques the massive, speculative capital expenditure of technology giants (Microsoft, Meta, Google, Amazon) who are pouring hundreds of billions into AI with unproven returns. The letter points to concerning financial engineering tactics like vendor financing and off-balance-sheet vehicles, alongside speculative mania in pre-revenue quantum computing companies. Moon Capital emphasizes its unchanging, fundamental-driven strategy, highlighting how avoiding overvalued sectors protected the firm during the 2000-2003 crash and will continue to serve clients well during the anticipated market correction.
