  • Nomura Strategist Flags Big Tech Concentration as Barrier to Stock Market Highs
    June 11, 2026, 7:26 AM EDT. Nomura strategist Charlie McElligott warns that the stock market's reliance on big tech and artificial intelligence (AI) leaders is limiting new highs. Investors are increasingly aware that this concentration poses risks to market breadth and growth potential. McElligott highlights that the changing approach to the AI trade is causing a pause in broader market gains, as enthusiasm narrows to a handful of dominant technology companies. This shift signals growing concern over the sustainability of the recent tech-driven rally, with widening investor focus needed to sustain the upward momentum.
