Nasdaq drops 2.3% as tech stocks slide after earnings reports revive AI bubble fears

The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell sharply as US stock markets opened on Friday. Major tech stocks declined.

Quarterly reports from several major, AI-driven stock market giants in recent days have reignited market fears of a bubble.

Google owner Alphabet fell more than 10 percent after reporting on Thursday. Interim reports from Intel and Amazon after trading closed on Thursday also weighed heavily on the stock market.

A few minutes into trading on Friday, the Nasdaq was down 2.3 percent. Among the biggest losers was Intel, down 29 percent, while Amazon was down 3 percent.

Things were somewhat calmer outside the technology sector. The Dow Jones was down 0.3 percent.
