Qualcomm stock slid 9% on Thursday, leading chip stocks lower after the company issued a light forecast. The chipmaker, which reported Q4 financial results after the bell Wednesday, slightly beat Q4 estimates for earnings, but its current-quarter guidance came in weak . Qualcomm projected first-quarter adjusted earnings between $2.15 and $2.35 per share, below analysts' estimates of $2.27 per share. The company expects Q1 revenue to range from $10.4 billion to $11.2 billion, versus Wall Street estimates of $10.48 billion. Semiconductor peers, including AMD , Micron , Arm and Intel , also declined Thursday, continuing a post-election selloff on fears of a data center slowdown , as Democrats indicated plans for artificial intelligence regulation.
