Analyst: US Tech Stocks Under Pressure, European Equities More Resilient

Alberto Conca, chief investment officer at Swiss wealth manager LFG+Zest, said European equities may continue to outperform as the market rally broadens, a call he made before Nvidia’s leadership change. Information technology accounts for over 35% of the MSCI US Investable Market Index but just 8.8% of the corresponding European index, which has broader exposure to financials, healthcare and energy. The protection is relative, investors noted, and European stocks could still be dragged down if a selloff spreads from US tech across Wall Street.

The structural point here is concentration, not sentiment: with tech above a third of the US benchmark versus under a tenth in Europe, the two markets are effectively different risk exposures, so relative resilience in a tech-led drawdown is largely mechanical rather than a verdict on European fundamentals. That distinction matters for allocators treating Europe as a hedge, since the protection is explicitly relative and breaks down if selling broadens across Wall Street. Whether dispersion stays contained to US tech or spills into broader indices is the open question.
