Big Moves in the AI‑Hit Stocks

Barclays released a report that shows how companies seen as lagging behind AI are losing value fast. The decline is so sharp that an activist investor, known for buying stakes in struggling firms, may be stepping in. Barclays says the sharp drop creates chances in software, media, internet and business services. The investor might be Elliott Management. Reports say they bought a hidden share in the London Stock Exchange Group, but no confirmation has come from either side.Shares of LSEG jumped about 8% at the start of trading in London, then settled on a rise of 2. 5% to £75. 60. The pattern suggests that AI is reshaping the market. Stocks that are seen as falling behind face big sell‑offs, while those that can adapt may become attractive picks. The story shows how technology shifts can create quick opportunities for investors who spot the right moments.
