PHYSIX OBSERVATION

The AI concept stock pullback is a natural correction of excessive valuations, with capital flowing into real-economy tech sectors such as energy storage and robotics. This reminds investors that the AI narrative needs earnings delivery to support it, and that diversified allocation can effectively hedge single-track risk. Short-term volatility does not change the long-term trend, but stock selection logic will place more weight on execution capability.
