The U.S. stock market suffered a sharp downturn in the fourth quarter, with Intel leading the list of worst-performing S&P 500 stocks after its market value plunged 56.5%. The technology sector was hit hardest, accounting for 35 of the top 50 positions in the loss rankings, signaling a severe correction in high-tech assets.
Among the biggest losers, alongside Intel, were names such as Sandisk, Marvell, and Seagate, which also fell by more than 49%. Selling pressure even hit established giants such as NVIDIA, Alphabet, and Palantir, which ended the period down between 17% and 20%, reflecting investors’ short-term disinterest in growth stocks.
This risk aversion in traditional markets may be interpreted as a sign of capital rotation, with money flowing out of falling technology stocks and seeking refuge in other asset classes, such as the cryptocurrency market. 📉
