  • Goldman Sachs: AI Fears Prompt US Investors to Rethink Long-Term Growth in Stocks
    April 28, 2026, 6:23 AM EDT. Goldman Sachs analysts highlight growing investor concerns over artificial intelligence disrupting long-term U.S. corporate growth, especially in software sectors. About 75% of S&P 500's value now depends on profits beyond 10 years, a 25-year high linked to optimistic growth similar to the dotcom boom. The S&P 500 software and services index has fallen roughly 17% this year amid fears of AI cutting future revenue and margins. Goldman estimates a 1% drop in long-term growth expectations could reduce S&P 500 enterprise value by 15%, hitting high-growth stocks hardest with a potential 29% valuation decline. The firm expects continued uncertainty around AI impact to weigh on valuations for several quarters, urging companies to better communicate long-term outlooks to investors.
