AI Bubbles

Dec 11, 2025 at 10:22 AM EST

Deutsche Bank says AI is in not one but two bubbles and both are still in the early stages. One is driven by cash-rich Big Tech companies pouring profits into AI spending (ahem, Oracle), while the other sits in riskier, mostly private “frontier” businesses that are still burning through cash. For now, the bank thinks things still look reasonable, but warns the real trouble will come if financing turns circular, debt piles up or politics and supply bottlenecks crash the party. The good news is that fears over an AI bubble bursting are overblown for the time being.

Wall Street Analyst Calls

After getting what they wanted from the Federal Reserve, markets have gone their own way. An earnings shocker out of software giant Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) after the closing bell yesterday is weighing on AI sentiment with a double-digit percentage drop, pulling technology stocks lower and pressuring the broader market. Major stock market averages are mixed, with the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 losing ground while the Dow Jones Industrial Average is moving slightly higher. The S&P 500, which has advanced 16.7% year-to-date, remains within a stone’s throw of its most recent all-time high level.

In its quarterly results, Oracle revealed plans to ramp up its capex, but with a debt-laden balance sheet, investors are fleeing for fear of how the company will be able to finance this aggressive growth. ORCL stock is down 14.3% at last check. Bank of America analysts have lowered their price target on ORCL stock by $68 to $300 per share with a “buy” rating.

Here’s a look at where things stand as of morning trading:

Dow Jones Industrial Average: 48,376.42 Up 318.67 (+0.67%)
Nasdaq Composite: 23,472.48 Down 186.67 (-0.75%)
S&P 500: 6,865.51 Down 21.17 (-0.31%)
