Investors are broadening the AI trade beyond hyperscalers and semiconductor stocks, according to a discussion featuring Robinhood CIO Stephanie Guild and Payne Capital Management President Ryan Payne. Guild noted that starting in June, her firm rotated out of semis and into companies like Shopify and Visa, which she believes will benefit from AI-driven financial infrastructure growth. Payne highlighted that many portfolios remain heavily dependent on direct AI plays, but pointed to opportunities in banks trading at a 40% discount to the S&P 500, as well as healthcare stocks like Johnson & Johnson, which rose over 50% in the past year without relying on AI. The conversation also identified industrial names such as Caterpillar, which surged roughly 80% this year after being drawn into the AI ecosystem through turbine manufacturing, and Cleveland-Cliffs as the sole producer of grain-oriented electrical steel used in grid upgrades.
