Citi analyst suggests value and quality stocks may outperform AI sector amid market uncertainty

Beata Manthey, who heads European equity strategy at Citi, has offered a perspective on market positioning as uncertainty surrounding the artificial intelligence sector grows. Manthey indicated that her firm has essentially removed its direct exposure to growth, or AI, related assets. Instead, the strategy advocates for a shift toward areas perceived as more resilient. Manthey stated that the market could see better performance from value stocks, quality-focused equities, and certain defensive sectors in the current economic climate.
