  • Leadership has broadened beyond the Magnificent Seven, with demand rotating toward semiconductor equipment, memory, and power chip suppliers tied to data-center buildouts.
  • Token consumption is rising fast, prompting corporate caps that could slow LLM revenue growth, though adoption runway remains “considerable.”
