Tech stocks have experienced their worst week in months, with the S&P 500’s technology sector taking a hit after Chinese artificial-intelligence company DeepSeek surprised investors by seemingly disrupting the market’s perception of winners and losers.
The recent surge in AI-related stocks was largely attributed to AI chip maker Nvidia Corp. However, DeepSeek’s unexpected entrance into the scene has sent shockwaves through the market, with many experts warning that “disrupters get disrupted shockingly fast”. According to Rob Arnott, founder of Research Affiliates, this phenomenon can happen rapidly in the stock market.
As investors try to make sense of the sudden change, some are left wondering if they missed out on the next big thing. With AI continuing to dominate the tech landscape, investors will need to stay vigilant and adapt to the evolving market trends.
