Why certain tech stocks are getting crushed even ones that aren’t directly impacted by tariffs
I’ve seen a lot of people asking why certain tech stocks are getting crushed—even ones that aren’t directly impacted by tariffs.
Here’s the simple explanation:
It’s not just about tariffs. It’s about recession fears.
Tariffs might not hit every company directly, but the worry is that they’ll trigger a global slowdown, which could bleed into a U.S. GDP slowdown—and ultimately, a recession.
And in a recession? Very little companies do well.
Earnings drop. Spending slows. Valuations compress.
So even if a tech company has nothing to do with tariffs, the broader fear is macroeconomic.
I’m not here to debate whether we’re headed for a recession or not—but if you’re wondering why your favorite growth names are down, now you know.
