US chip stocks slide 5% intraday; foreign investors dump Samsung, SK Hynix with $2.1B in net selling

US chip stocks fell 5% intraday while foreign investors net sold $2.1 billion worth of Samsung and SK Hynix shares. This reflects growing concerns over slowing AI chip demand and continued foreign outflows from the Korean semiconductor sector. It could weigh on SK Hynix shares in the short term, but the impact may be limited if the long-term AI growth trend remains intact.
