Stock Market Today

  • Top Economist: No AI Stock Bubble Yet as Smart Money Holds Back
    February 1, 2026, 8:35 AM EST. Owen Lamont, a portfolio manager and former finance professor, argues the U.S. stock market isn't in an AI-driven bubble despite soaring valuations. He highlights the absence of equity issuance-when insiders and companies sell overpriced shares-as a key missing sign. Historically, bubbles involve corporate share sales to the public, but currently, firms are buying back shares, shrinking open stock float. Lamont's "Four Horsemen" framework looks at overvaluation, retail enthusiasm, issuance, and inflows; with issuance absent, the market lacks a full bubble signal. The S&P 500 hitting 7,000 hasn't spurred an IPO surge typical of past bubbles like 1999 or 2021. Lamont sees the AI market as in its "early innings," suggesting caution but no mania yet.
