Winner Take All (Part 1) – Why Market Thinks Big Tech Is Recession Proof
Special Situation series
In this special situation video, Samantha LaDuc questions the belief that big tech is recession-proof, highlighting how recent earnings from companies like Meta and Microsoft fueled massive gains in market cap — nearly $400 billion added in seconds.
She points out how extreme market concentration and unprecedented capital expenditure from tech giants are distorting market valuations, driving the S&P 500 to levels only justified by peak or even super-peak earnings multiples.
Despite warning signs like falling free cash flow and potentially overstated profits, investors are ignoring risks, swept up in what may be a paradigm shift — or a misallocation of capital on a historic scale.
Samantha warns that to believe in further upside, one must assume valuations stay stretched and earnings continue to grow without fail.
