U.S. stocks had their worst day since 2022 Wednesday amid a broad pullback in tech companies as Wall Street traders sought to reduce their exposure to firms that have made big bets on artificial intelligence. The tech-heavy Nasdaq index closed down 3.6%, while the broader S&P 500 index closed down 2.3% — both the worst performance in more than 18 months. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.25%. The rout was led by Tesla, whose shares fell 12.
'We're seeing some nervous profit taking in some of the stocks that have been leveraged to AI that a lot of investors have come to rely on as a consistent source of stock market gains,' Sosnick told NBC News. Other major tech names seeing major losses Wednesday included Nvidia, the computer chip-maker powering much of the AI revolution, whose shares fell more than 6% for their worst day since 2022; Facebook parent Meta was down 5%; Microsoft fell 3.5% and Amazon lost 3%.
