This defensive rotation looks

This defensive rotation looks real with Procter & Gamble up 5.58%, Coca-Cola, Eli Lilly, Walmart, Costco and Berkshire Hathaway up 1.32% all outperforming as AI valuations compress. Berkshire's roughly 360B cash, renewed buybacks, Taylor Morrison deal and bigger Alphabet stake show Buffett deploying capital while tech stalls. Bulls see steadier earnings, but I agree with bears that defensives are extended. If tech rebounds, this could reverse fast. For a lasting shift we need earnings follow-through, not just one flight to safety.

The Buffett Trade Is Back: Is Cash Flow Replacing AI Beta?

As tech sold off, investors rotated into defensives: PG gained 5.58%, Coca-Cola 2.87%, Eli Lilly 2.83%, Walmart 2.82%, Costco 1.99%, and Berkshire 1.32%. Bulls cite steadier earnings and stronger balance sheets as AI valuations compress. Berkshire’s roughly $360B cash position and renewed buybacks, Taylor Morrison deal, and larger Alphabet stake signal capital deployment. Bears warn defensives are extended and could reverse if tech rebounds. What would confirm a lasting shift rather than a brief flight to safety?
