Loeb Rebuts Bubble Theory: Investing in AI Is Far From Flushing Money Down the Toilet, We've Just Scratched the Surface of the Trend
May 30 – Dan Loeb, founder of Third Point and manager of a $24-billion hedge fund, is sounding bullish on artificial intelligence, arguing today’s AI boom is fundamentally different from the dot-com bubble era.
Loeb emphasizes that major tech companies have pledged a combined $700 billion in AI infrastructure spending this year, with plans to invest another $1 trillion next year. Unlike the dot-com days, he notes these firms boast strong profits and massive cash flows, so nearly all of this spending is funded by their own resources.
“To think this capital expenditure will deliver no returns is like saying they’re flushing money down the toilet — that’s not how the dot-com bubble played out. We shorted that bubble back then and turned a decent profit,” Loeb stated, adding he does not see a valuation bubble forming in AI right now.
He cites Anthropic as a key example supporting his optimistic outlook: the AI startup’s latest financing round values it at $965 billion, up from $380 bill
