UBS stated that profit-taking is focused on small- and mid-cap names in the AI supply chain, including optics, baseboard management controllers, multilayer ceramic capacitors, substrates, cooling systems, advanced packaging and analog components. Breakdown of targeted segments Despite the reduction, UBS still maintains an overweight of around 20 to 25 percentage points versus the Nasdaq 100’s roughly 42 percent exposure to AI semiconductors and hardware, underscoring a continued conviction in the theme rather than an exit.

Shift toward more defensive AI plays
Parallel to trimming chip-heavy positions, UBS has increased exposure to more defensive areas inside the AI ecosystem. Strategy allocations to operators of data centers, telecommunications companies and selected payment providers were raised from below 1 percent at the beginning of June to about 20 percent, with a focus on names offering solid balance sheets and stable dividend profiles. UBS description of the defensive AI allocation
Within semiconductors, UBS continues to prefer large foundries such as TSMC, equipment makers like Applied Materials, memory producers such as SK Hynix and selected compute-focused names, while keeping the “Magnificent Seven” clearly underweighted at a combined portfolio weight of about 18 percent. UBS sector preference statement This mix points to an attempt to balance cyclical upside from AI hardware with steadier cash flows from infrastructure and transaction-driven businesses.
