On May 12, KKM Financial's Jeff Kilburg and Wedbush Securities' Dan Ives appeared on CNBC to discuss AI, Cybersecurity and Mega-Cap Tech, especially as technology stocks boosted market confidence with the surge in U.S.-China tariff trading. Jeff Kilburg first identified the tech software industry as the main beneficiary of the suspension of markets amid optimism and earnings, and emphasized the widespread positive market. He noted that many investors underestimated the speed at which the Chinese trade agreement would implement and compare it with the speed of the UK deal, which is expected to be a slower tentative template. Kilbor suggests faster deals can continue and benefit several software companies that have been overlooked for their focus on MAG7. Dan Ives agrees with Kilburg but sees Nvidia as the closest medium term beneficiary of the moratorium, especially given its prior exposure to Chinese tariffs. He mentioned the ongoing AI revolution and the surge in AI-related stocks and described the current environment as a dream scenario for technology investors. Ives expects technology and wider markets to be new highs. He also described the “golden age” of cybersecurity stocks, which are secondary beneficiaries of AI growth.

Regarding the impact of administrators on reducing federal spending and debt, especially among companies that earn substantial revenue from government contracts, Kilbor responded that this fiscal discipline is actually positive for software companies because it may drive more spending towards effective software solutions. Kilborg also speaks to these departments to avoid or act cautiously in the current market environment. He suggested pruning utilities, which are a safe haven, but may now reduce the appeal. He noted that the VIX volatility index fell to under 20 years old, which was a huge change in April of more than 60, indicating that market fears have decreased and increased investor confidence. This suggests that a market environment favors higher beta and growth-oriented investments rather than defensive investments.
