US-Börsen: Nasdaq rutscht nach Tech-Bilanzen ab – Intel-Aktie verliert 30 Prozent

On Friday, the strong quarterly results from major technology companies triggered widespread selling on US stock markets. After-hours losses, particularly in Amazon, had already been apparent on Thursday. All major US indices gave a clear indication of decline. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 suffered the most at the opening bell. The Dow Jones of blue-chip stocks barely moved and was at 52,204 points.

The broader S&P 500 fell by nearly one percent and was at 7,628 points. The technology exchange Nasdaq was down by more than 2.5 percent at 25,522 points. The Nasdaq 100, representing the 100 largest non-financial companies with the highest market capitalization, fell by around three percent to 28,537 points. Amazon shares, which lost up to eight percent, joined the list of major tech losers.

However, Amazon's stock price narrowed the losses to around two percent during trading. Computer chip makers, network providers, and other firms that had previously benefited from the AI boom also lost value. Intel, in particular, saw its shares drop by 30 percent following weak outlooks. Market expectations were massively exceeded.

Intel had forecast in the evening of Thursday that the poor sales of computers, a major business segment for Intel, would continue until at least mid-2027. The massive losses dragged down the entire industry. HP and AMD lost more than nine percent each. Qualcomm shares fell by seven percent.
