AI slowdown fears impact data-center power and construction stocks
Artificial-intelligence-related stocks fell broadly as industry leaders raised concerns about the sustainability of increased spending in chipmaking, power equipment supply, and data center development. The selloff extended beyond semiconductor companies to include firms involved in electric infrastructure for data centers. The market reaction reflects growing uncertainty over whether demand will continue at its current pace following initial surges driven by AI advancements. This has led investors to reassess the long-term viability of investments tied closely to this sector, affecting not just chipmakers but also construction and power equipment firms that support large-scale computing infrastructure.
