Chip Stocks' Post-Election Selloff is Intensifying -- WSJ

By David Uberti

The post-election hangover for chip stocks is getting worse.

Wall Street is dumping shares of Nvidia, Micron and other semiconductor firms, extending a selloff sparked by the prospect of newly elected Democrats tapping the brakes on data-center development.

For Intel, the American chipmaking giant whose largest shareholder is the U.S. government, Wednesday's move extends a selloff that has dragged down shares by more than 50% over the past month.

Nvidia stock, which is down 23% over the past month, is now also down year-to-date.
