- The Nasdaq 100 has soared 130% since January 2023, largely due to advances in artificial intelligence boosting technology company valuations.
- Market analysts are increasingly drawing parallels to the dot-com era of the late 1990s, when a wave of internet enthusiasm led to excessive valuations and a subsequent crash.
The Nasdaq 100 has surged 130% since January 2023, drawing comparisons to the dot-com era as AI advancements drive rapid valuations across major technology companies.
Recent analyses highlight parallels between current AI-driven market enthusiasm and the late 1990s focus on internet adoption during the dot-com bubble. The historical period saw overinflated valuations of internet startups that ultimately led to a prolonged market downturn.
Investor sentiment on social platforms reflects concerns over potential corrections similar to the dot-com crash, with observers noting patterns of routine market pullbacks before major peaks.
However, discussions emphasize that today’s tech leaders demonstrate stronger fundamentals compared to the speculative startups of the dot-com period, potentially mitigating the severity of any downturn.
