Nasdaq, S&P 500 and AI Stocks Rebound After Brutal Week

AI stocks rebounded Friday as investors bought beaten-down chipmakers after Thursday’s rout, with the Nasdaq recovering 1.1% and Nvidia rising about 3%.

  • The Nasdaq Composite plunged 5.5% into correction territory on Thursday, marking its worst performance since the 2025 'Liberation Day' rout, after Democrats regained control of Congress in midterm elections on Tuesday.
  • Fears that a 'Blue Wave' would disrupt the U.S. data center build-out triggered the sell-off, as prominent Democratic victors including Ohio Governor-elect Amy Acton and Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed campaigned against such facilities.
  • Investors had questioned whether massive AI spending justified high valuations, prompting Dong Baozhen, Chairman of Lingtong Shengtai, to state the sell-off proves AI stock prices were built on 'rosy illusions about the future.'
  • Yorkville Ives & Co. partner Dan Ives argued the sell-off is overdone, comparing its magnitude to the 2020 and 2025 tech sell-offs, while other market participants reported 'client margin calls' and widespread complaints.
  • Big Tech companies remain poised to allocate $3 trillion to $4 trillion toward AI capital expenditures over the next few years, ensuring the long-term industry build-out continues despite current market turbulence.
