The biggest risk of 2026 according to Dale Smothers: companies cutting back costs on AI infrastructure buildout. If businesses realize they don't need as much AI as originally budgeted, it could hit Big Tech firms and cut into economic growth. Dale explains how he's creating investment strategies for clients in 2026 with AI downside risks and other volatile factors in mind. As for the Fed, he expects interest rates to fall 100 points lower than where they currently sit.
