In early November 2025, global equity markets suffered significant declines, led by technology and semiconductor stocks. The pull-back was driven by growing concern that the valuations of artificial intelligence (AI)-related companies have surged ahead of sustainable profitability.
The U.S. Nasdaq declined roughly 2% and the S&P 500 dropped over 1%. In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei fell nearly 5% and South Korea’s Kospi more than 6%. Even companies that reported strong earnings — such as Palantir and NVIDIA — saw their stock prices tumble, reflecting investor skepticism about whether current valuations are justified.
