Tech as a whole went up a lot after COVID, then down in the last year or so. This helps demonstrate how much the entire sector can change in value.
(In addition, if a ton wealth went started valuing tech stocks higher, it would take less than $1 to raise the value of them by $1. Maybe much less than $1. A great deal of global “wealth” is really just “expectations of value or future earnings”. So as expectations rise, the S&P 500 and I believe “Global Wealth” would rise as well.)
In comparison, tech stocks might be valued at like ~$6T?
According to companiesmarketcap.com, Apple, Microsoft, Google and Amazon alone are worth $6 trillion. I am not familiar with an estimate of the total market size, but I suspect it is substantially higher than $6 trillion?
Sorry—I was thinking, and should have specific, about the FAANG stocks, plus maybe NVIDIA and one or two AI-specific companies. All of tech globally is significantly larger, though I think most of these companies likely won’t substantially compete in the AI race.
MSFT is valued at 1.7T using scenarios that don’t assume transformative AI.
If you really think TAI will happen soon, and think they will dominate, I think the EV of MSFT would go up much further.
How much further? And how much relative to the stock market as a whole?
The stock market as a whole could become significantly larger.
I just did a quick search:
- The total S&P 500 Market Cap is ~$33T
- Total Global Wealth is ~$460T
In comparison, FAANG tech stocks might be valued at like ~$6T?
