Description
Artificial intelligence is driving significant investment across industries, but identifying where the real opportunities lie can be challenging. As capital continues to flow into AI-related companies, investors must distinguish between businesses positioned for long-term growth and those benefiting from short-term market enthusiasm.
This seminar explores the AI compute stack and the companies underpinning the AI ecosystem, from semiconductors and networking providers to memory chip manufacturers and energy companies. Through a review of key Canadian and U.S. stocks, attendees will gain insight into where opportunities may exist, where valuations appear stretched, and how factors such as interest rates, trade policy and broader market conditions may influence AI-related investments.
Note: Registration for this seminar closes November 18, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. (EDT).
Key Takeaways
- Gain a clearer understanding of the companies and sectors powering AI growth.
- Recognize where capital is flowing across the AI ecosystem and the opportunities it may create.
- Better evaluate which AI investment themes may have long-term potential versus those driven by market enthusiasm.
- Understand the key risks that can affect AI-related stocks, including interest rates and broader market conditions.
