Tech Stocks Plunge as Market Sell-Off Intensifies

Magnificent Seven and High-Growth Tech Names Struggle Amid Volatility

Magnificent Seven and High-Growth Tech Names Struggle Amid Volatility

The stock market’s downward spiral has accelerated in recent weeks, with technology stocks leading the decline. Once the driving force behind the bull market of 2023 and early 2024, tech giants and high-growth players are now suffering sharp losses, raising concerns about the broader market’s stability.

While much of the focus has remained on the “Magnificent Seven”—Nvidia (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA), Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Meta (META), Apple (AAPL), and Microsoft (MSFT)—another group of tech highfliers has also experienced significant declines. Companies like Netflix (NFLX), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Micron Technology (MU), Dell Technologies (DELL), and Palantir Technologies (PLTR) have all taken heavy hits in recent trading sessions.

Tech Stocks Under Pressure

The sell-off has been widespread, affecting a range of companies once favored by retail and institutional investors alike. Netflix, for instance, has dropped about 15% from its recent 52-week high of over $1,000 per share. Similarly, Palantir, which had been riding a wave of momentum, has seen its stock price plummet 30% from its February peak.

Chip stocks have been particularly hard hit, with AMD, Micron, Intel (INTC), Super Micro (SMCI), and ON Semiconductor (ON) all down at least 40% from their respective highs. Dell, another once-favored name in the sector, has tumbled roughly 50% from its peak.

Momentum Plays Unravel

Mizuho analyst Jordan Klein noted in a recent client note that the market’s current price action “really felt unwindy,” suggesting that while it hasn’t reached full-scale panic, it is nearing that level. Many former high-momentum names, including AppLovin (APP), Affirm (AFRM), Oklo (OKLO), and Reddit (RDDT), have all suffered severe declines of 30% to 50% in just the past month.

The downturn isn’t just about sentiment shifts—it also reflects fundamental concerns for some companies. Palantir, often trading like a meme stock, faced a sharp decline as fears of U.S. government defense spending cuts weighed on its outlook. Meanwhile, Netflix continues to face scrutiny over its high content costs and engagement risks, which some analysts believe could hurt its valuation over the long term.

AI Boom Faces a Reality Check

Chipmakers have been a major focus of the sell-off, particularly as investors reassess the long-term sustainability of the artificial intelligence (AI) trade. February’s sharp decline in DeepSeek and other AI-related stocks signaled rising concerns over competition, supply chain pressures, and whether AI-driven growth can maintain its previous pace.

AMD serves as a key example of this shift in sentiment. The company reported a strong fourth-quarter earnings report, yet its stock tumbled due to disappointing growth forecasts for its data center business. The reaction suggests investors may be reconsidering whether AI chip demand will continue to be the market’s primary growth engine.

Magnificent Seven Lose Momentum

Even the market’s biggest players have been unable to escape the sell-off. The Magnificent Seven stocks are all down between 16% and 25% from their 52-week highs, with Apple experiencing the smallest drop and Nvidia the steepest. Tesla, however, remains an outlier—down nearly 50% from its record close in December.

These seven stocks had been the backbone of S&P 500 growth, propping up corporate earnings while non-tech companies lagged. Their declines now pose a broader risk to market stability.

Is a Market Shift Underway?

Independent economist Peter Boockvar believes that a “regime change” is taking place, signaling that past market drivers may no longer work to the same degree. In a note to clients, he cautioned that without the leadership of the Magnificent Seven, the market lacks a clear next wave of growth stocks to take over.

“You lose the special seven stocks, which at its peak made up about 35% of the S&P 500, you are without a net in the broader market unless the baton is immediately passed to someone else,” Boockvar explained.

However, the challenge is identifying what sector or group of stocks could fill this role. With all 11 sectors of the S&P 500 in the red over the past month and ongoing economic uncertainties—including trade tensions and potential Federal Reserve policy shifts—investors are left questioning where stability might emerge.

Looking Ahead

While the recent market correction has sent tech stocks tumbling, the key question is whether this is a temporary setback or the beginning of a prolonged downturn. If AI momentum stalls, earnings disappointments continue, and market leadership remains unclear, the turbulence may persist.

For now, volatility remains in the driver’s seat, leaving investors on edge as they search for the market’s next source of stability.
