Tech Stock Declines: 3 Crucial Things Every Investor Should Do Now
Overview
The S&P 500 has climbed over the past three years, and this year it added to those gains. But this hasn't been without volatility -- particularly in 2026. The famous benchmark fluctuated between gains and losses earlier in the year amid concerns about the U.S. economy, turmoil in Iran, and questions about the sustainability of the artificial intelligence (AI) growth story.
The index has since rebounded significantly, but in recent days, a bit of volatility has returned. And a handful of tech stocks, the biggest stock market winners -- from newly launched Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, to long-established tech giants like Alphabet and Meta Platforms -- have seen their share prices suffer. Over the past several months, periodically, investors have worried about the spending levels in AI and whether the long-term revenue opportunity will justify all of the investment. This is a concern that has weighed on tech stocks and put pressure on the overall market -- even as tech players have spoken of strong AI demand.
Details
Though declines and volatility are never pleasant, the good news is they aren't dangerous or permanent. And you can take action to protect your portfolio as the storm passes. In these moments, here are three things every investor should do.
