A broad 'sell the news' event is hitting the technology sector, with Intel, Reddit, Twilio, and Roblox all gapping down significantly (17-26%) despite beating earnings estimates. The market is punishing these names for forward-looking AI capital expenditure concerns and weak guidance rather than trailing results. Intel's specific downgrade by Bank of America to Neutral, citing a delayed turnaround, reinforces the bearish sentiment on legacy chipmakers. Amazon's 7% drop highlights the tension between cloud growth and massive AI infrastructure burn rates.
