Report first recorded Nov 1, 19:46
Hedge funds sold AI stocks for five consecutive days in October, reversing every AI purchase made since the start of 2025, according to Goldman Sachs data. Funds cut more than 8% of their total stock bets since June, the biggest retreat since at least 2017. The sell-off contributed to a $2 trillion drop in big tech stock values. While the S&P 500 was relatively flat, memory chipmakers Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron, and SanDisk collectively lost over $700 billion in under two weeks. On the heaviest selling day, funds sold shares 3.5 times faster than they opened new bets against stocks.
