Technology stocks are heading into the final stretch of 2025 with a familiar mix of momentum and anxiety: the AI trade is still the market’s engine, but the questions around valuations, geopolitics, and the sheer cost of building AI infrastructure are getting louder.

On the other: widening U.S.–China policy uncertainty, supply constraints in the most in-demand components (especially HBM and advanced packaging), and an uneven recovery across the “non-AI” parts of the chip universe.
