They point out that enterprise-software provider Technology One, logistics-software developer WiseTech Global and telecommunications operator Telstra are the only companies to see their market capitalizations rise on the announcement of their most recent financial results. Every other stock they cover fell, they write in a note. It seems clear to them that, for stocks to re-rate, companies must prove that they their risk of AI disruption is limited and that AI can provide economic value. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
