Wall Street's souring view on the US stock market isn't just about the economy — it's about AI too
Published On Mar 11, 2025, 1:44 PM
The stock market has experienced a significant sell-off recently, particularly affecting the major tech companies known as the 'Magnificent Seven,' which includes Nvidia, Tesla, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Apple, and Microsoft. Tesla's stock dropped by 15%, indicating a broader industry trend of decreasing valuations. This downturn raises concerns about future earnings in the technology sector, as overall estimates for the S&P 500 remain stagnant. Investors are also apprehensive about macroeconomic factors such as interest rates and dollar strength impacting earnings. As a result, equities have been downgraded to neutral ratings due to these uncertainties.
Stock Forecasts
TSLA
Negative
The recent sell-off in tech stocks, particularly the Magnificent Seven, suggests a market that is losing faith in growth projections, particularly related to AI investments. The combination of stagnant earnings estimates and macroeconomic pressures makes a further decline likely in the short term.
XLY
Negative
The weakness in the Consumer Discretionary sector, which includes many major tech firms, signals risk in this market segment. As companies report earnings that may fail to impress, a bearish outlook is expected.
XLK
Negative
The Information Technology sector, which housed the prominent players before the downturn, shows signs of further weakness. This indicates potential declines for ETFs exposed to this segment, affecting investor sentiment.
