AI overview

The California Public Employees' Retirement System (Calpers) reduced its direct holdings in the Magnificent Seven tech stocks by 26% in the first half of 2026, citing concerns over high valuations and the sustainability of AI investments. The pension fund is shifting assets toward private equity to reduce dependence on a small group of tech giants. This move follows Calpers' broader strategy to rebalance its portfolio amid market jitters related to artificial intelligence. The decision reflects ongoing skepticism about the long-term profitability of big tech AI spending, even as other investors maintain exposure to the sector.

    The California Public Employees' Retirement System (Calpers) reduced its combined direct holdings in the Magnificent Seven tech stocks by 26% in the first half of 2026, citing stretched valuations and concerns over the sustainability of the AI investment boom. The move adds to pressure on neocloud providers like CoreWeave and Cipher Digital, which fell in Monday's pre-market trading after Elon Musk warned of tightening financing for AI data center companies.
