Asian Chip Stocks Slide as AI Jitters Mount Ahead of Nvidia Earnings
NVDA sits 27% above its 52-week low of $164.07.
Summary
Asian semiconductor stocks fell sharply Tuesday as investors turned cautious ahead of Nvidia's earnings report on Wednesday. SK Hynix dropped 5.1% and Samsung Electronics declined 2.9%, dragging South Korea's Kospi down 2.1%. The selloff followed an overnight drop in U.S. AI-related shares, with chip, memory, and infrastructure names among the biggest losers in the S&P 500. The market is questioning whether strong AI demand can offset concerns over valuations and return on investment. Nvidia's report after Wednesday's close will be a key test for the AI trade.
