In this episode of The Bull of Wall Street, Talley Leger and Jim Worden welcome Jonathan Golub, Chief Equity Strategist at Seaport Research Partners, for a discussion on artificial intelligence, corporate earnings, valuations, interest rates, market concentration, and the forces influencing equity markets. Jonathan explains how Seaport uses AI to process large datasets and produce customized portfolio research while preserving human judgment in the investment process. He also shares his view that the current capital spending cycle may support earnings across technology, industrials, financials, and other related industries, while higher interest rates could continue to pressure valuation multiples.
