Stock markets are plummeting, and whispers of a new “dot-com 2.0” are echoing across Wall Street — just as we mark 25 years since the original internet bubble burst.
Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 have dropped over 10%, and tech titans known as the “Magnificent 7” are rapidly losing their shine. The rally that began in October 2022 added more than $22 trillion in market value — but it seems that surge has come to a halt.
🤖 AI Mania Echoes the Dot-Com Gold Rush
The current hype around artificial intelligence mirrors the internet frenzy of the early 2000s. Giants like Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Nvidia are pouring hundreds of billions into AI infrastructure. Just this year, these companies are expected to spend $300 billion in capital expenditures related to AI. And yet — much like 2000 — valuations are getting out of control.
Back then, companies slapped “.com” on their names. Now, a simple mention of “AI” in a press release can send a stock soaring. But the gap between promises and profits is once again dangerously wide.
📉 Investors Remember — and Fear the Replay
Nasdaq’s average P/E ratio sits at about 35 today. In 1999, it reached 90. But even back then, traditional metrics were tossed aside in favor of "clicks" and "eyeballs". The emotional cycle is familiar: first fear, then greed — and when greed dominates, corrections follow.
Analysts warn we’re watching the same pattern unfold: frenzied speculation, unrealistic expectations, and now the first signs of a comedown.
🧨 A Bubble Always Bursts — This Time With Bigger Numbers
In 2000, just a few triggers — interest rate hikes and a Japanese recession — sent markets tumbling. Now, it could be slowing earnings growth, geopolitical shock, or simple investor fatigue.
The tech behind the last crash eventually changed the world, but that didn’t save investors. Many lost billions — the timing was off, and risk was underestimated.
💸 What Happens Next?
Today’s downturn doesn’t mean the AI revolution is over. But it does signal that markets are correcting for irrational optimism. Big players might survive — but history shows that many won’t, and some investors will again be left holding the bag.
Wall Street has seen this movie before. Now, everyone’s watching to see how it ends — this time.
