Equinix, Dynatrace and Fastly executives point to capacity constraints and AI-driven workload growth at Technology Leadership Forum 2026, while Monday.com's post-earnings momentum and a bullish ASML call underscore investor appetite for second-derivative AI plays.

Separately, Monday.com's 20%+ July advance and a prominent wealth manager's 50% upside call on ASML after a 5% monthly drawdown highlight rotation into quality compounders on weakness.
