Investors try to regain their footing after tech stocks tank

U.S. tech stocks steadied Friday after one of their worst routs in years, as investors weighed the prospect of an AI investment slowdown.

Analysts noted that the selloff had been driven by profit-taking and uncertainty about future growth.
