International markets are more heavily tilted toward this manufacturing and infrastructure provider segment. International markets trade at roughly half the multiples of US stocks, offering more attractive valuations. Non-US markets start from cheaper valuations and possess more diverse growth opportunities unrelated to AI. | GOOG |
