The tally, one vote per house
10 of 15 research houses flag it as a material risk, +1 house in 30 days. See which houses, free →
Researchers argue that US and global equity prices are inflated by years of fiscal and monetary support, and that a sharp 40-60% sell-off could follow if the boom reverses. Ten of the fifteen houses take this view, with the bubble warnings focused on stretched valuations, heavy debt and AI-linked enthusiasm. A minority of five push back, arguing that falling multiples and earnings growth show the AI rally is not a bubble and that going to cash early has historically cost investors more than the eventual crash.
Each house counts once: its newest view on the theme in the last 60 days. The counts are computed, not written by AI; the summary is AI-written from the houses’ views, without names.
