At 3.6% Of US GDP, The AI Boom Is Bigger Than Dotcom Bubble. SBI MF Explains
State Bank of India set out an expansion.
· NDTV Profit
AI expenditure marks one of the largest capital spending cycles in history, with average annual capex estimated at around 3.6% of US GDP over 202532, more than the 1.1% during the 2000 dotcom cycle and 2.2% during the 19th-century railroad boom.
The analysis
State Bank of India reported movement of 3.6%, 1.1% and 2.2%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is +1.8% on the day at ₹1,061.20, and has returned -0.5% over three months. It sits 14% below its 52-week high. The banks sector has moved +2.5% over the same period, so State Bank of India is running 3.0 points behind its peers.
For State Bank of India, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the banks peer set alongside it.
