Las empresas del Ibex lideran la creación de empleo entre las grandes cotizadas europeas

Spain led job creation in the European Union last year, accounting for four out of every ten new positions generated across the EU, according to El Pais Economia. Companies listed on the Ibex 35 also led job creation among the four major European stock market indices, surpassing the German DAX 40, the French CAC 40, and the Italian FTSE MIB 40.

Expansion ES reports that market discussions are currently dominated by the potential for a bubble in artificial intelligence (AI) company valuations. Concerns include rising interest rates and the emergence of cheaper models from China, which could impact large-scale sector investments. Wall Street identifies CoreWeave as a potential weak link due to high debt from AI infrastructure development, noting its share price fell 16% this week.

Jefferies suggests that while AI remains a structural trend, slowing profit growth and high financing risks may be reducing its attractiveness, noting that global AI firms trade at a price-to-earnings ratio of 23 compared to 13 for the rest of the market.
