Q3 2026 Market Themes to Watch
Electrification of Everything (EOE)
Hyperscalers have committed to more than $600B in capex spending in 2026, with more than $1T expected in 2027. While much of this is going to hardware and chips, a large portion is going to the necessary real assets and infrastructure that are proving to be the true bottleneck of AI: Electrification infrastructure, energy, and raw materials. Rising electricity demand is not just owed to data centers, but the appetite for electricity from AI data centers will require a multi-decade investment in the generation, transmission, and resources. Most cap-weighted large-cap portfolios are inherently concentrated in the companies driving rising electricity demand while being woefully underexposed to the sectors and industries that stand to benefit from it.
