Peter Boockvar on CNBC: AI Disruption, Margin Pressure & Market Risk

When markets hover near record highs and enthusiasm around artificial intelligence drives valuations, disciplined perspective matters more than ever.

In a recent CNBC panel, our CIO, Peter Boockvar, joined:
•    Paul Hickey, Co-Founder, Bespoke Investment Group
•    Clare Pleydell-Bouverie, Co-Head of Global Innovation, Liontrust Asset Management

The discussion focused on the forces shaping portfolios right now:
•    AI-driven margin pressure and whether software multiples can sustain current levels
•    Rising memory and infrastructure costs and who ultimately absorbs them
•    Multiple compression in high-growth tech
•    Inflation persistence and tariff uncertainty
•    The broader implications for equity valuations and investor expectations

Peter’s perspective was clear: transformative technologies create opportunity, but markets often price perfection long before profits fully materialize. Elevated valuations require selectivity, discipline, and diversified exposure across asset classes.

These themes closely align with our latest outlook, 2026 Market Outlook: 7 Key Themes for Long-Term Investors—where we explore valuation sensitivity, AI concentration risk, and why balanced portfolios matter more in late-cycle environments.
