Chip Stocks Slide as Iran War Tensions Trigger Rotation to Safety
NVDA, MRVL, SNDK, SKHY, and other semiconductor stocks fell 2-8% as investors rotated into safety amid escalating U.S.-Iran war tensions following a collapsed ceasefire. Melius's Ben Reitzes said higher oil prices from Strait of Hormuz supply disruptions could fuel inflation, pressure central banks to raise rates, and raise semiconductor input costs via helium and LNG-driven electricity spikes.
Why it matters: Despite the selloff, Reitzes downplayed overvaluation concerns, called the rotation temporary, and said he expects no hyperscaler AI capex cuts, awaiting upcoming Big Tech spending plans for direction clues.
MU, SNDK, SKHY, WDC Stocks Drop Overnight: AI Memory Giants Suffer Reversal As IBM-Driven Rally Fades
Memory stocks including Micron (MU), SanDisk (SNDK), SK hynix (SKHY), and Western Digital (WDC) tumbled overnight, extending an 8-9% Wednesday decline despite broader market gains. The selloff appears driven by profit-taking after Tuesday's rally was sparked by IBM CEO Arvind Krishna's comments that clients were shifting capex toward AI servers, storage, and memory to secure supply-constrained infrastructure.
Why it matters: Analysts remain bullish on the sector, with KeyBanc raising its Micron price target to $1,750 and noting that tight HBM3e/HBM4 supply is expected to persist through 2027, supporting long-term pricing power.

Chasing the memory stock rally ruined my portfolio. Now I don’t know if my new portfolio will save me or make things worse
1st photo: My 3-month loss so far. 2nd photo: My portfolio today. 3rd photo: My portfolio before my losses. Main reasons: - Lost a lot on SanDisk call options . (Biggest loss - wiped out most of my gains). Realized loss. - Bought new stocks but sold at a loss. Sold Intel, SPMO, AVGO, and VOO at a realized loss to buy more MU, SKHY, and AMAT . MU, SKHY, and AMAT are going down after buying. In general, Idk if my new portfolio will save me or screw me over more :(. These are all self made hard earned life savings.   submitted by   /u/CharmingThirdTime [link]   [comments]
