AI chipmakers beat earnings estimates but stocks slide as the market demands more
AI Market Summary
AI hardware earnings beats are failing to support valuations, with TSMC and Samsung selloffs reinforcing concerns about profit durability and elevated expectations. Broad weakness in semiconductors (notably memory) is weighing on risk appetite, dragging Asian equities (KOSPI -6%+) and pressuring US tech as the Nasdaq 100 underperforms. Softer inflation data reduced hike odds but did not catalyze easing expectations, while US-Iran tensions add a cautious overlay.

Major AI hardware names such as TSMC and Samsung posted earnings that topped expectations, yet their shares fell broadly, underscoring investor doubts about the durability of AI hardware profits. SK Hynix, Samsung, Micron and Marvell ADRs dropped 5%-8% in a single session, helping push the KOSPI down more than 6%. The Nasdaq 100 fell 1.32%, lagging the Dow. At the same time, the U.S.-Iran conflict intensified and risks around shipping through the Strait of Hormuz rose, but commodities did not see a sharp price reaction.
