Smaller firms, especially those in the Russell 2000, are facing even tougher conditions with falling revenue and earnings. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What\u2019s happening? <\/strong>More traditional tech sectors \u2014 including companies in software, IT, consulting, and electronic equipment manufacturers \u2014 are seeing weak demand after a boom during the pandemic that prompted them to increase investments, including through hiring, overexpansion, and overstocking of inventories \u2014 especially as customers with limited budgets look towards investments in AI. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cWhat we\u2019re seeing in tech is still kind of the unwinding of the over-hiring and overspending that we saw at the beginning of the pandemic,\u201d <\/strong>Facebook co-founder and Asana CEO Dustin Moskovitz told analysts last week. \u201cAnd then that all couples with what I think is massive uncertainty in the economic environment. And then, also, just with how AI is going to play out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This could change soon, with investors already showing signs of pivoting to less hyped up subsectors<\/strong> like financial services and industrials, and the excitement towards AI and data players subsides.
