Think the tech boom is over? Think again – a capital rotation is just the beginning!

I was reading a piece on Google News about capital rotating within the tech sector, and it reinforced something I’ve been watching closely: money doesn’t “leave tech” as much as it moves to where the narrative and cash flows feel safest.

When mega-cap leaders start to look crowded, capital often shifts to the next layer—quality software names, profitable mid-caps, or even adjacent enablers (cloud, cybersecurity, semis). That rotation can look subtle in headlines, but it shows up quickly in how SM is valued, funded, and judged.

My takeaway for anyone operating in or investing around SM:

1) Expect higher dispersion. “Tech” won’t trade as one block—execution will matter more than sector beta.  

2) Messaging must match the tape. If the market is rewarding durability, your story has to be grounded in margins, retention, and cash conversion—not just TAM.  

3) Plan for a tougher bar on growth. In a rotation, investors tend to re-price risk fast—especially for companies relying on external capital.

If you’re leading an SM business, now is the time to stress-test your assumptions: customer concentration, pricing power, and the path to self-funding.

What signals are you watching to confirm a rotation—breadth, rates, earnings revisions, or something else? Comment with your indicator, and I’ll share mine.
