Wedbush's Dan Ives Calls $3T Tech Selloff a Buy Signal
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives says Big Tech is oversold after a $3 trillion market-cap wipeout and urges investors to buy the dip.
Wedbush Securities' Global Head of Technology Research Dan Ives took to CNBC this month to push back against the wave of pessimism hammering Big Tech stocks, arguing that the sector's dramatic decline represents a rare entry point rather than a warning sign. Nearly $3 trillion in combined market capitalization has been erased in June alone, driven largely by investor anxiety over the scale of artificial intelligence capital expenditures across the industry.
Ives flatly rejected the prevailing bearish narrative, calling the hardest-hit names "way oversold" and singling out Microsoft as among the stocks he believes the market is mispricing. His core argument centers on a disconnect between short-term spending fears and the long-term revenue potential that AI infrastructure is expected to unlock for dominant platform companies.

For contrarian investors, the Wedbush analyst's call echoes a familiar playbook — treating market-wide panic as a pricing inefficiency rather than a fundamental deterioration. Whether the timing proves correct depends heavily on how quickly AI monetization accelerates and whether corporate customers begin converting pilot programs into full-scale deployments that justify the infrastructure spending already underway.
