| 2025 Q4 | Jan 21, 2026 | Columbia Seligman Global Technology Fund | 5.0% | 35.4% | AAPL, AMAT, AVGO, BE, GOOGL, LRCX, LYFT, MRVL, MSFT, MU, NVDA, ORCL, PINS, TER, WDC, WIX | AI, Data centers, Equipment, global, growth, semiconductors, technology | AI infrastructure build-out remains strong with hyperscalers and enterprises committing to large-scale spending on GPUs, high-speed networking and high-bandwidth memory. The quarter saw volatility around AI capital expenditure concerns and whether spending had ramped too fast, but fundamentals remained intact with continued demand for AI data centers and power solutions. Semiconductor equipment demand remained steady and recovered strongly following April volatility around global tariffs. Companies focused on reallocating production across geographic locations to adjust for potential tariff impacts. Memory and storage pricing improved following the 2022-2023 down cycle, with NAND/DRAM markets tightening on AI data demand. Power shortage overhangs new AI data center builds globally, creating demand for alternative energy solutions. Bloom Energy's fuel cells provide solutions that can plug into natural gas lines and ramp up power delivery quicker than traditional providers, addressing the largest constraint on AI development according to NVIDIA's CEO. High-bandwidth memory and AI chips are fueling significant investments and demand for advanced storage solutions. Western Digital benefited from increased purchase orders from major hyperscalers extending into 2026 and 2027, driven by AI infrastructure demand for high-capacity hard disk drives. Cybersecurity consistently remains a top priority for CIO budgets as non-technology companies continue increasing AI solution usage in daily operations. However, increased regulatory scrutiny on data privacy, AI ethics and antitrust could create headwinds as companies seek more security solutions amid AI adoption. | AMAT TER WDC BE LRCX NVDA |
