In the stock market's worst day of 2019, the biggest tech companies got hammered, losing more than $160 billion in combined market cap.

"Assuming smartphones, tablets, smart watches, and computer systems are not categorically excluded from the final $300B tranche, we expect there will be material impact to Apple hardware product earnings," wrote analysts from Cowen, in a note to clients.

Facebook, Google and Amazon have almost no presence in China. The other companies didn't drop as much but still fell more than the S&P 500, a reflection of technology's role in the economy — the industry typically outperforms in boom times and is disproportionately hurt during a slowdown.
