AI Fears Hit Tech Stocks, Infineon and Coreweave Drop Sharply
Stock markets in Europe and Asia experienced significant declines on October 15, 2026, driven by concerns over high U.S. inflation and potential interest rate hikes, which disproportionately affect technology companies. The German DAX index held steady, but tech-heavy indices such as South Korea's Kospi fell over 8%, and Japan's Nikkei dropped nearly 5%. U.S. futures also pointed to a weak open, with the Nasdaq 100 down 2% in previous trading. Notable individual losers included German semiconductor companies Infineon (down 9%) and Aixtron (down up to 9.5%), as well as U.S. AI cloud provider Coreweave, whose bonds signaled financial distress and shares plunged 15.5%. Oil prices also declined.
Dell Stock Plunges 11% on Enterprise AI Timing Fears
Dell shares plummeted 11% on Wednesday, dragging down other data center equipment makers amid growing concerns that enterprise AI spending will not justify the AI buildout. Barclays downgraded Dell, HPE, and NetApp to hold from buy, citing 'enterprise AI timing' and a lack of 'meaningful AI inflection' in enterprise spending. The analysts attributed strong revenues to the global memory shortage and rising memory prices rather than enterprise AI adoption, noting businesses allocate only about 5% of IT budgets to AI and that hardware accounts for only a quarter of AI spending. Oracle dropped 9%, CoreWeave plunged 15%, and memory stocks like Micron and SK Hynix also fell, partly due to China's CXMT progress on new chip structures.
