S&P 500 Falls 0.4% and Nasdaq Drops 1.1% as AI Chip Stocks Slide

Summary
Two of every three S&P 500 stocks were rising Thursday, but the index still fell 0.4% as losses in AI-linked chipmakers dragged on the market.
The Nasdaq composite sank 1.1% after wiping out an early gain, showing how heavily recent artificial-intelligence winners continued to pressure tech shares.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average bucked the broader weakness, up 372 points, or 0.7%, with about an hour left in trading.
The split underscores Wall Street's narrow leadership problem: declines in a small group of AI boom stocks are muting gains across much of the U.S. market.
