South Korean chip stocks fell sharply on Tuesday after Broadcom and Intel executives warned about financing constraints on AI infrastructure spending. Samsung Electronics dropped 8% and SK Hynix 4% in Seoul, and the KOSPI was briefly halted during the sell-off. According to IDC data reported by Reuters, Nvidia's share of China's data-center AI chip market fell to 34% in the first half of 2026, as its shipments dropped 44% to 678,000 units amid U.S. export curbs. Huawei shipped 572,000 units, capturing 28% of the market and narrowing the gap. Some X users argued that Broadcom CEO Hock Tan's remarks were misread, since he was bullish on AI demand.
