Chris Grisanti, who has been trading since the 1990s, said in a recent interview that the core principles of value investing—cash‑flow focus, margin of safety, and long‑term horizon—remain applicable to AI firms.
He explained that many AI companies exhibit strong fundamentals, such as accelerating revenue streams and improving operating margins, which can be assessed using discounted‑cash‑flow models traditionally favored by value investors.
Grisanti also noted that while AI stocks often trade at higher multiples, the underlying growth prospects justify a value‑oriented approach for disciplined investors.
Analysts point out that this viewpoint could broaden the universe of value plays, especially as institutional money seeks exposure to sectors with high upside potential.
The market’s response has been measured so far; a few value‑focused funds have announced exploratory research into AI opportunities, but no large‑scale reallocation of assets has yet been reported.
