Insights from Owen Hyde, CFA, Large Cap Growth Equity Research Analyst

In our view, we’re still in the opening stages of an AI–driven investment cycle—one we believe can reshape the global economy.

The ride, however, won’t be linear. In 2025, DeepSeek reignited fears that powerful, low-cost models could pressure pricing and disrupt monetization. Early 2026 brought another wave of volatility, as investors reassessed what AI means for software business models and long-term profitability.

Against this backdrop, Jennison’s Owen Hyde, CFA, a large cap growth equity research analyst focused on technology companies, shares his perspective—what’s driving the volatility, and where Jennison sees the most compelling opportunities materializing over the long term.
