Episode notes
Dassault Misses Estimates Amid AI Fears
- Dassault Systèmes reported Q4 revenue down 4.1% and missed expectations, signaling weakening demand for its software.
- Louise Moon says AI fears and weak guidance drove the biggest share drop since the IPO era, weighing on European tech stocks.
AI Tax Tool Triggers Wealth-Manager Selloff
- A new AI tool that creates tax strategies sparked a selloff in wealth managers as investors fear automation could displace advice.
- Louise Moon notes the move started in the U.S. and spread to European names like St. James's Place and Quilter.

- Expect volatility in wealth-manager stocks as markets reprice the risk of automation, not necessarily a permanent fundamental shift.
- RBC analysts suggested the drops may reflect short-term positioning rather than long-term industry collapse.
