Morgan Stanley: AI Capex and Power Demand Stay in Focus

(28/04/26)

Morgan Stanley’s latest outlook keeps investors anchored to the structural growth themes that have driven markets over the past year, with AI infrastructure, power demand and industrial investment remaining central.

The bank’s shares closed at $190.18, leaving them just 2.27% below their 52-week high, in line with broader strength across US financials and capital markets.

For advisory teams, the focus remains on sectors tied to the AI buildout — notably data centres, semiconductors, utilities and energy infrastructure, where strategic activity continues to gather pace.
