"Alpine Capital rotated from semiconductors into hyperscalers after June's AI infrastructure selloff, increasing Microsoft to overweight and initiating Oracle positions. The AI buildout is real and defensible with capex approaching $1 trillion by 2028."
Executive Summary
Alpine Capital views the AI buildout as a genuine, defensible long-term investment cycle rather than a bubble, with hyperscaler capex rising from $416 billion in 2025 toward $1 trillion by 2028. Following June's sharp selloff in Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon on ROI concerns, the manager rotated capital from semiconductors into hyperscalers, viewing them as attractively priced with reinforced moats and multiple revenue streams. The firm increased Microsoft to overweight and initiated Oracle positions, seeing asymmetric opportunity at current valuations. While acknowledging near-term headwinds including the new Fed chair transition pattern and midterm election volatility, Alpine maintains a neutral Q3 outlook with the economy remaining strong. The defining feature of the current cycle is extreme single-stock dispersion, with volatility at 12-month highs creating constant opportunities and traps. The manager emphasizes discipline over short-term trading, focusing on companies with solid fundamentals while rates trend structurally lower over the medium term given unsustainable 7% fiscal deficits and 120%+ projected debt-to-GDP ratios.
