Artificial intelligence: Opportunities beyond the tech sector
Utilities, several services segments, and industrials all represent potential AI-related plays.
- The use of artificial intelligence appears to be broadening across a range of industries, and across market cap and capital structures, as companies seek new ways to gain efficiencies and competitive advantages.
- Several infrastructure investment themes related to AI buildouts, including among utilities, have driven market performance in the sector.
- Professional services has embraced the use of AI at more than double the overall rate, which is why several Fidelity portfolio managers have focused their attention mainly among services sectors.
- The industrials sector also appears likely to increase its AI adoption in the coming years.
- Active managers at Fidelity continue to rely on bottom-up analysis, although they are tracking corporate AI-related investments that appear likely to contribute to a strong return on investment, operational efficiency, cost savings, and/or higher profit margins.
