Goldman Sachs: Chinese Residents' Stock Allocation Remains Low Relative to Long-Term Potential

On June 24, Goldman Sachs' China macroeconomic team recently published a research report stating that the asset allocation of Chinese residents is in the early stages of structural transformation. As the role of real estate in wealth accumulation gradually diminishes and deposit interest rates remain low, savings may gradually shift towards a broader range of financial assets, with stocks and insurance expected to be the main beneficiaries in the medium term. "The stock allocation of Chinese residents remains low relative to its long-term potential," Goldman Sachs noted, indicating that the current proportion of stocks in residents' assets is less than 10%. This suggests that as residents gradually broaden their investment horizons, there is significant room for further asset reallocation. Considering that residents' risk appetite remains cautious and financial wealth distribution is uneven, this adjustment is unlikely to be linear or widespread. Nevertheless, if residents' confidence stabilizes and capital market returns are attractive, stocks may occupy a larger share of new resident savings in the future.

  • Meta and Microsoft Lead with Data Center Leasing Commitments Exceeding $850 Billion

    On June 24, Bloomberg reported that Meta Platforms Inc. and Microsoft Corp. each committed billions of dollars in additional data center leasing expenditures during their most recent fiscal quarters, further increasing the overall investment in the AI sector. These commitments have pushed the total future data center leasing commitments of major cloud computing companies to over $850 billion. An analysis of regulatory filings shows that as tech giants compete to expand their server clusters, the amounts of these leasing commitments have continued to rise over the past year. These future leasing costs are additional to existing leasing contracts and will not appear on the balance sheet until the companies begin actual payments. While these leasing commitments typically pertain to data centers, they may also encompass facilities such as offices or warehouses. Some leasing contracts include specific clauses that allow companies to terminate future performance obligations under certain conditions.

  • Goldman Sachs Warns: AI Investment Boom Not Peaking Yet, But Market Pricing Clearly Ahead of Fundamentals

    On June 24, Goldman Sachs stated in its latest research report that the AI investment boom has not yet peaked, but the market pricing for its future returns is clearly ahead of macroeconomic realizations. The firm pointed out that the share of U.S. technology investment in GDP has surpassed the peak during the internet bubble of the 1990s, with capital expenditure expectations for major cloud providers being revised up nearly 80% in the past six months for 2026. This wave of investment continues to drive revenue and profit growth in the semiconductor, cloud computing, server, and data center supply chains, leading to increasingly high valuations for AI-related assets. However, unlike the late 1990s, the current risks no longer primarily stem from a pure valuation expansion detached from fundamentals, but increasingly from the market's expectations for the long-term sustainability of high profit margins and capital returns. Goldman Sachs believes that the core contradiction of the AI market is intensifying: fundamentals remain strong, but the market has already priced in too much future earnings.
