Tech stocks tumble as election rattles AI trade

U.S. tech stocks plunged Thursday as investors grew concerned that the artificial-intelligence boom may be slowing. By 3 p.m., the Nasdaq Composite was down 4.7%, putting it in correction territory—a decline of at least 10% from its Oct. 6 high—while the broader market also fell sharply, partly amid rising oil prices. AI-related shares led the losses, with companies tied to data-center construction suffering double-digit declines. The sell-off followed historic midterm election gains by Democrats, including victories in Texas and Ohio, both major data-center development areas. Those results were seen as a sign of growing political resistance to the enormous investment boom.

Nasdaq Plunges 1,421 Points in Massive Tech Rout: Stock Market Today

U.S. stocks plunged Thursday as investors took profits in high-flying technology shares, sending the Nasdaq down 5.5% to 24,315—its steepest percentage loss since April 2025 and more than 10% below its October peak, placing it in correction territory. The Dow fell 3.4%, the S&P 500 dropped 4.4%, all 11 S&P sectors declined, and the VIX reached its highest level since March. AI-linked stocks led losses: Micron fell 17.5%, Sandisk 22.3%, and Nvidia 9.3%; major AI-spending companies also slid. The sell-off reflected concerns that political opposition could hinder data-center construction, alongside fears that technology valuations had become detached from fundamentals. One strategist advised caution and favored defensive sectors such as consumer staples and energy. Qualcomm dropped 9.5% after issuing a first-quarter earnings outlook slightly below expectations, despite beating estimates for its latest quarter. AppLovin bucked the rout, surging 31% after strong results: quarterly earnings rose 76% year over year and revenue increased 55%, both exceeding forecasts.
