DeepSeek Launch, Intel’s Price Cuts The unveiling of China’s new resource-light AI model, DeepSeek, roiled the U.S. big semiconductor stocks earlier this week.

Monday’s DeepSeek sell-off may have rattled investors who picked up shares of a top semiconductor play at any time over the past few weeks. Undoubtedly, it’s not hard to imagine many new retail investors panicking in the face of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock’s sudden double-digit percentage decline.

Given the natural desire to pick up market discounts, it’s easy to fall into the trap of simply buying AMD stock at the sight of crimson ink. However, it’s better to apply a more strategic approach, especially in the backdrop of a fundamental threat like DeepSeek.
