Tech Stocks Get Wrecked in Worst Week Since April 2025
The Nasdaq posted its ugliest weekly drop in nearly a year as geopolitical chaos and legal trouble hammered Big Tech.
Tech investors just had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week. The Nasdaq logged its worst weekly decline since April 2025, dragged down by a brutal combination of the Iran war and Meta's mounting legal defeats.
The damage was widespread but hit the biggest names hardest. Meta took the worst beating, cratering 11% over the week. Alphabet wasn't far behind, dropping roughly 9%. Microsoft shed about 7%.
The selloff was part of a broader market downturn, but tech bore the brunt of investor anxiety. Geopolitical instability from the Iran conflict rattled confidence across sectors, while Meta's courtroom losses added company-specific fuel to the fire.
For a sector that's spent years defying gravity, this week was a sharp reminder that even Big Tech isn't bulletproof when macro headwinds and legal risk collide.
