The Great Rotation of 2026: Why the Easy AI Trade Is Over & Where Smart Money Is Moving Now

In this 2026 webinar, David Trainer, founder of New Constructs, argues that the once‑dominant "buy any AI stock" narrative has collapsed as earnings season revealed massive valuation distortions and hidden accounting tricks. He explains that smart money is rotating out of over‑valued mega‑cap AI champions and into fundamentally sound sectors—primarily telecom services and consumer non‑cyclicals—where real earnings quality and free‑cash‑flow metrics are attractive. Trainer showcases New Constructs’ proprietary AI platform that parses every footnote and MD&A of U.S. public filings (over 3,000 companies, millions of pages) to compute core‑earnings, economic earnings, free‑cash‑flow yield, and other proprietary scores. He cites the platform’s track record: indices built on its data have outperformed the S&P 500 by 27‑32 bps over five years, and its stock picks have beaten buy‑side analysts and Wall Street consensus. The presentation also critiques generic AI tools (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude) for merely echoing popular narratives, and highlights the firm’s academic validation (Harvard Business School, MIT Sloan, Ernst & Young, Journal of Financial Economics). Finally, Trainer offers a limited‑time professional membership (with model portfolios, sector ratings, API access, and exclusive reports) as a way for investors to gain the same data‑driven edge.
