"Columbia Global Technology Growth Fund surged 39.25% in Q2 2026, outperforming on concentrated AI infrastructure positioning. The quarter delivered decisive validation of the AI supercycle thesis as semiconductor and memory companies reported superlative earnings with tangible revenue and margin expansion."
Columbia Global Technology Growth Fund returned 39.25% in Q2 2026, outperforming its benchmark by 149 basis points, driven by concentrated positioning in AI infrastructure winners. The quarter marked a decisive validation of the AI infrastructure supercycle thesis, as semiconductor and memory companies delivered superlative earnings results with tangible evidence of revenue, margins and multi-year forward commitments. Micron Technology surged over 200% after reporting quarterly revenue that tripled year-over-year and came in $7 billion above guidance, with its entire 2026 high-bandwidth memory supply fully allocated. Semiconductor capital equipment leaders Lam Research and Applied Materials delivered strong performance as Lam raised its 2026 Wafer Fab Equipment industry forecast to $140 billion. CrowdStrike nearly doubled as its AI Detection and Response product saw annual recurring revenue grow over 250% sequentially. The quarter also highlighted the widening divergence between AI infrastructure winners and application-layer businesses facing structural disruption, with over $250 billion in enterprise software spend now facing direct disruption from AI-native automation frameworks. Traditional SaaS names including Intuit and Accenture declined over 30% despite strong results. The manager continues to believe we are in the early innings of many powerful secular growth trends that will take years if not decades to play out.
