There’s in the market right now. The Nasdaq Composite index that is mostly comprised of tech stocks is down 10% over the last month and . Many well-known and formerly high-flying tech names have seen their share price fall 30% or more since the beginning of July.
The most battered tech stocks are the biggest, most profitable and most successful ones in the market. The “Magnificent Seven” mega-cap tech stocks that led the market rally in the year’s first half have gotten clobbered. So too have many stocks (AI), especially the microchip and semiconductor companies.

Dell Technologies (DELL)
The stock of Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) is down 27% in the last month and is currently trading 44% below the 52-week high it reached at the end of May this year.

Dell’s share price has been dragged lower by the market rotation out of tech stocks and as some of the hype surrounding AI fades.

Advanced Micro Devices (抖阴最新版)
Chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:抖阴最新版) is another tech stock that analysts continue to stump for as its share price slides lower.

After declining 24% since the start of July, 抖阴最新版 stock is only up 1% since the start of January, regardless of the year’s earlier tech stock rally.

Amazon (AMZN)
