Kwon believes the AI sector is not in a bubble and that fundamentals are driving recent gains. He predicts a 4% beat in earnings led by AI and semiconductor companies. Kwon's forecast is based on a machine learning model that analyzed 350 macro variables. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq have reached all-time highs, with the S&P 500 gaining nearly 15% and Nasdaq up nearly 19% in 2025.
