A global bond selloff pushed yields to over a year-high levels, forcing a re-pricing of high-multiple growth stocks, with semiconductors hit hardest. Rising 10-year Treasury yields to 4.8% compressed the present value of future cash flows, especially affecting AI-linked growth stocks like Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA. This macro-driven correction reflects the sector’s sensitivity to interest rate shifts rather than company-specific issues. Technologically, the extended ROI on 3nm and EUV processes is being questioned amid supply chain uncertainties and geopolitical tensions, particularly around Taiwan, China. Companies may pivot toward mature process nodes or vertical integration to reduce exposure to volatile AI demand. In the near term, investors will scrutinize valuation sustainability, favoring firms with stable cash flows and resilient supply chains. The adjustment signals a broader shift in market sentiment, where growth at any cost is no longer tenable, and long-term strategic positioning will be critical for survival.
