He’s also looking for clarity on the monetization of AI even by big tech companies like Alphabet (GOOGL) or Amazon (AMZN). He sees “hard decisions” ahead for Apple (AAPL), both because it is behind on AI and because it needs a phone refresh, he argues. Besides tech, he also likes communication services and consumer discretionary, particularly entertainment.
