In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Jun 4, 2026), Samantha LaDuc explains why the AI trade may be entering a more challenging phase as investors begin taking profits on record-high profit margins and “priced for perfection” expectations.
Using valuation data from Ed Yardeni, shifting headlines around AI return on investment, and examples like NVIDIA and SK Hynix generating exceptionally high margins, she argues that current profitability levels may be difficult to sustain.
Samantha also reviews the bearish weekly engulfing candles in Broadcom and Ciena, suggesting that when “everyone is already long” and earnings are as good as they can get, even strong results can trigger a meaningful change in market leadership and sentiment.
