Trillions lost as investors question the AI boom | DW News

"Trillions lost as investors question the AI boom | DW News" is a ten-minute business report built around one question: can the money pouring into chips and data centers ever pay for itself? On DW News, it passed a million views in less than a day, far beyond the channel's usual start for a regular video.

The report opens in Asia. South Korea's KOSPI triggered circuit breakers, and memory makers Samsung and SK Hynix fell. Roger Montgomery of Montgomery Investments takes the long view: "What's important is the pattern is always the same." A new technology draws excitement, excitement brings overpricing and oversupply, and the returns on all that capital disappoint. The report also notes the awkward timing for Anthropic, the maker of Claude, which has been planning a stock-market debut this month.

Dennis Dick, chief market strategist at Stock Trader Network, then joins from Toronto with a different timeline. Semiconductor shares, he says, began slipping on Wednesday, with the damage hidden by gains in the broader indices, before falling openly on Thursday. In his view, the bubble "actually started bursting probably early October."

He links the latest panic to fears that Congress, now controlled by Democrats after their midterm gains in both houses, could slow AI's expansion. He calls that an overreaction, pointing out that President Trump "still has the power to veto anything."

His real worry is narrower. Hardware margins have soared, and a company like Micron could see them shrink quickly if demand eases. Still, he ends where he began: "I still think AI is going to change the world."

The comments came in about ten times faster than on the channel's usual first day, and the most-liked ones are not about valuations at all. Many viewers simply want fairly priced RAM and solid-state drives again, parts made by the same memory giants whose shares the report follows. Plenty of others say they would rather the bubble burst sooner than later.
