TREE NEWS reports: The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell about 4% in early US trading, with Intel down about 6%, AMD about 5%, ASML about 4% and Nvidia about 2%. Tesla dropped about 3% after third-quarter revenue missed expectations and the company cut its capex target, while Meta slid about 5% as its future spending commitments surged to $825 billion. AI compute-rental names CoreWeave and Nebius each fell about 5%, and memory-chip and optical-communications stocks also declined broadly.
US stocks open lower: Philadelphia Semiconductor Index falls about 4%, Tesla down 3%
The selloff is concentrated in AI-adjacent hardware and compute names rather than the broad market, which suggests the market is repricing the cost side of the AI buildout, not abandoning the theme. Meta's ballooning spending commitments and Tesla's capex cut point in the same direction: capital intensity is being scrutinized. Memory and optical names falling alongside semis shows the pressure is moving down the supply chain. Whether this stays a one-session de-risking or becomes a sustained reset in AI infrastructure valuations is the open question.
