"A rising tide lifts all boats" is a popular piece of market jargon, but you can see why it sticks during rallies like the AI gold rush.

Each has seen their company’s stock soar more than 100% year-to-date (YTD), but are these gains based on true future cash flows or just hype from a transcendent rally?
