In this piece, we will take a look at the 15 biggest technology stock drops in 2022. For more tech stock declines, go to 5 Biggest Tech Stock Drops in 2022.

If there is one thing that can be said with certainty about the stock market right now, it’s that the market is officially in bear mode. This means that all major stock indexes, and shares, have now entered a protracted period of share price drops. These drops have been caused by the macroeconomic environment, and they are the result of several factors. One factor is inflation, as rising prices have hit consumer purchasing power and forced them to concentrate most of their spending resources on essential items. For large companies, such as Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC), this means that the money consumers might have allocated for a smartphone or a personal computing purchase is simply not there.

The other is the drastic increase in interest rates by the Federal Reserve, which is estimated to hike the rate to 5% by May next year, according to the traders betting on the futures market. The current rate sits at 3.25% and the new bets suggest that at least one massive 75 basis point and two 50 basis point hikes are headed our way.

Taking stock of the current situation for major stock indexes reveals that the picture is far from pretty. For instance, the NASDAQ Composite Index is down by 31% year to date, the S&P 500 index is down by 22%, the DOW Jones Industrial Average by 15%, and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) by 18%.

In this article we will focus on major tech stocks that fell sharply this year. Among the notable stocks in our list are Peloton Interactive, Inc. (NASDAQ:PTON), Snap Inc. (NYSE:SNAP), and Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ:LYFT).

(NASDAQ:NFLX) (+34.6%): After a punishing first half of the year when bearish investors came to believe that Netflix’s growth days were done for good, the company reported fewer subscriber losses than expected in the second quarter and guided for a return to at least modest subscriber growth in the third quarter. In addition, as more information about the company’s planned advertising supported subscription tier has become available, investors began to express growing confidence in this tool to revitalize growth in 2023.”

(NASDAQ:AMD)’s growth spurt, which saw the company deliver consecutive earnings growth for more than year, came to a screeching halt earlier this year as the drop in personal computing sales led to the company reporting a wide gap for its upcoming third quarter earnings release. The stock market has not been kind to the shares either, and they have lost a painful 61% of their value year to date. Insider Monkey’s Q2 2022 profiling of 895 hedge funds revealed that 87 had held a stake in the company.

The company also sells virtual reality headsets, and its founder and chief Mr. Mark Zuckerberg is personally overseeing the metaverse development. However, this has not stopped the stock market from decimating Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META)’s value. The stock has declined 62% year to date.

As this year’s June quarter ended, 184 out of the 895 hedge funds part of Insider Monkey’s survey owned Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META)’s shares.

Out of these, Ken Fisher’s Fisher Asset Management is Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META)’s largest investor. It owns 11.5 million shares that are worth $1.8 billion.

Giverny Capital mentioned the company in its Q3 2022 investor letter. Here is what the fund said:

“Our worst performers for the year-to-date have been painful. Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is down roughly 60%, and Carmax, Eurofins Scientific, Coherent and Ciena have lost about half their value. I’m wearing a dunce cap for Meta, as the changes Apple made to privacy tracking severely impacted Meta’s effectiveness at targeting ads to the right consumers. However, despite being compared recently to AOL by one analyst, Meta continues to capture enormous amounts of consumer attention: roughly 2.9 billion people use one of its sites every day. I believe it has a very long runway on monetizing those eyeballs, especially outside North America. For all its problems with ad tracking, and despite heavy investment in the so called metaverse, Meta should earn about $10 per share in 2022 and more next year. The stock, at $136 on September 30, reflects pessimism that Meta will ever recover. We’re holding because we think that Meta has the resources to improve its advertising efficiency, and that it eventually will.”

6. Confluent, Inc. (NASDAQ:CFLT)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 26

Year to Date Share Price Drop: 64%

Confluent, Inc. (NASDAQ:CFLT) provides a data streaming platform that allows its customers to process data and use real time data without risk through stream processing and stream governance.

Confluent, Inc. (NASDAQ:CFLT)’s shares have lost 64% of their value year to date, and Morgan Stanley reduced the company’s share price target to $38 from $42 in October 2022 as part of a broader software downgrade which maintained that low investor expectations provide for an opportunity to deliver. Insider Monkey’s Q2 2022 survey of 895 hedge funds revealed that 26 had held a stake in the company.

Confluent, Inc. (NASDAQ:CFLT)’s largest investor in our database is Brad Gerstner’s Altimeter Capital Management which owns 14.5 million shares that are worth $335 million.

AI, Tariffs, Nuclear Power: One Undervalued Stock Connects ALL the Dots (Before It Explodes!)

Published on June 23, 2025 at by Inan Dogan, PhD

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!

AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.

Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.

Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:

Where will all of that energy come from?

AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.

Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:

“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”

Elon Musk was even more blunt:

“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”

As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.

And that’s where the real opportunity lies…

One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.

The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom

It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.

Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.

And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.

But that’s not all…

As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.

AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.

While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.

AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.

And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.

This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.

Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.

While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…

This company is completely debt-free.

In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.

It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.

And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…

The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out

This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.

They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.

Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.

And that’s for a business tied to:

The AI infrastructure supercycle
The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
A surge in U.S. LNG exports
And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power

You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.

This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.

It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

This is your chance to get in before the rockets take off!

Disruption is the New Name of the Game: Let’s face it, complacency breeds stagnation.

AI is the ultimate disruptor, and it’s shaking the foundations of traditional industries.

The companies that embrace AI will thrive, while the dinosaurs clinging to outdated methods will be left in the dust.

As an investor, you want to be on the side of the winners, and AI is the winning ticket.

The Talent Pool is Overflowing: The world’s brightest minds are flocking to AI.

From computer scientists to mathematicians, the next generation of innovators is pouring its energy into this field.

This influx of talent guarantees a constant stream of groundbreaking ideas and rapid advancements.

By investing in AI, you’re essentially backing the future.

The future is powered by artificial intelligence, and the time to invest is NOW.

Don’t be a spectator in this technological revolution.

Dive into the AI gold rush and watch your portfolio soar alongside the brightest minds of our generation.

This isn’t just about making money – it’s about being part of the future.
