Money is being redirected from software to chip stocks, particularly those focused on artificial intelligence. The PHLX Semiconductor Index has gained 10.9% over the past three months, while the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF has declined by 4.5%. This shift may continue due to AI focus, inflation concerns, and uncertainty in corporate earnings.
