Hedge funds cutting AI stocks is not the market revising AI.这轮 AI 股抛售,是对冲基金在给又挤又借的仓位平仓,不是市场改判了 AI。

Goldman Sachs prime-brokerage data shows hedge funds net-sold about $20 billion of tech over two weeks; five straight sessions of net selling in global AI stocks erased every net purchase made since the start of 2025. The tell is the pace: they cut existing longs about 3.5 times faster than they added new shorts. That is not a bet that demand for chips, data centers, or software is about to fall apart. It is risk reduction on a crowded, borrowed book, and Morgan Stanley logged a de-gross of roughly 7.8% of total equity exposure, the largest in its series since 2016.
The mechanism is simple. The same funds, using borrowed money, held the same longs. On the way up, that crowding pushed prices higher together; when volatility hit and risk limits fired at once, everyone sold, so price fell faster than any fundamental news. What is being priced is who owned the trade and how much they borrowed, not AI itself. Goldman now adds that the book still carries too much leverage, which reads more like an unfinished unwind than a verdict on AI.
What would change this view: over the next quarter, AI leaders actually cut data-center capex guidance, or chip orders visibly shrink. Then it is demand doing the talking.
Don't mistake the unwinding of a crowded trade for a judgment on AI.

高盛(Goldman Sachs)主经纪商数据显示:过去两周对冲基金净卖出约 200 亿美元科技股;连续五个交易日对全球 AI 股的净卖出,就抹平了 2025 年初以来的全部净买入。关键在节奏——他们减已有多头的速度,是新开空头的 3.5 倍。这不是在押注芯片、数据中心或软件的需求会垮,而是在给一本又挤又借的账降风险:摩根士丹利记录到约 7.8% 的总持仓净减仓,是其数据序列里 2016 年以来最大的一次。
机制并不复杂:同一批基金,用借来的钱,拿着同一批多头。上涨时这种拥挤一起把价格推高;波动一来、风控限额同时触发,谁都在卖,于是价格比任何基本面消息跌得都快。真正被定价的是“谁在持有、借了多少”,不是 AI 本身。今天高盛还说,这本账仍背着过多杠杆——也就是说,这更像一场没走完的平仓,而不是对 AI 的改判。
什么会推翻这个判断:未来一个季度里,AI 龙头真的下调数据中心资本开支指引,或芯片订单明显萎缩。那时,说话的才是需求。
别把一场拥挤交易的平仓,当成对 AI 的宣判。
