Tech Stocks Face Volatility as AI Infrastructure and Semiconductor Sectors Decline
Midday trading saw significant volatility across the technology sector, driven by a broad sell-off in artificial intelligence infrastructure and semiconductor stocks. The Nasdaq Composite entered a correction phase as companies tied to data center build-outs, such as Lumentum and Corning, experienced double-digit losses. Semiconductor ETFs also faced heavy pressure, with major players like Nvidia, AMD, and Micron seeing substantial declines. In contrast, several companies reported strong earnings or raised guidance, leading to sharp rallies. AppLovin surged 26% following a blowout third quarter, while EPAM Systems jumped 22% after increasing its full-year outlook and authorizing a $1.5 billion buyback. However, these gains were offset by significant drops in the travel sector, with Tripadvisor plummeting 22% due to leadership changes and weak revenue guidance.
