In the latest Klasszis Podcast episode, Munkácsi Dávid, senior portfolio manager at Generali Investment CEE Magyarországi Fióktelepe, discussed whether current enthusiasm around artificial intelligence (AI) represents a speculative bubble, how realistic the valuations of major technology companies are, and what these issues mean for investors.
The conversation covered several themes: the fundamentals and sustainability of innovation, outlooks for the US market, and whether there is still room for further growth in the technology sector. Munkácsi emphasized that investors should consider not only present valuations but also the possible directions of technological development over the longer term.
Another central topic was the recent shift in the international assessment of Hungary’s economy. Munkácsi noted a significant positive turn in sentiment, while questioning how long confidence in the new government’s economic policy can last and which indicators are most important for judging sustainability.
