Why AI Chip Stocks Are Crashing While Equipment Makers Rally

On June 29, 2026, the AI chip trade is in turmoil. NVIDIA is down 7.7% over five days, AMD off 5.4%, and the SOXX semiconductor index has dropped nearly 10%. Yet equipment makers like Applied Materials are only down 2.1%, and ASML fell 7% — less than the chip designers. Lucas and Luna unpack the decoupling: hyperscalers are slowing their GPU purchases, but they're still building out fabs and buying lithography tools for the next generation. They explore whether this is a rotation within AI infrastructure or the beginning of a broader capex slowdown. The conversation also covers the surprising resilience of Microsoft, which is actually up 1.5% this week, and what it signals about the changing nature of AI spending — from training to inference and from GPUs to custom silicon. #AI #Semiconductors #NVIDIA #AMD #ASML #AppliedMaterials #Microsoft #SOXX #ChipStocks #EquipmentMakers #AIInfrastructure #CapexCycle #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #AIStocks #SemiconductorEquipment #MarketRotation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
