Nasdaq, S&P end lower as tech megacap declines outweigh upbeat chip outlook

SUMMARY
Indexes: Dow up 0.14%, S&P down 0.01%, Nasdaq down 0.46%
Memory chips surge as Micron results signal robust demand
Apple slips after detailing price increases
Final Q1 GDP data comes in at 2.1%, higher than prior estimates

June 25 (Reuters) - The Nasdaq closed ​lower on Thursday, dragged down by losses in Big Tech shares, while the S&P closed near flat and the Dow ‌closed higher as investors digested new economic data.

Technology shares reversed early gains to move lower, weighing on the Nasdaq as investors worried about hyperscaler spending on artificial intelligence and who foots the bill. Those fears outweighed upbeat signals on AI demand from Micron (MU.O), opens new tab and Qualcomm (QCOM.O), opens new tab.

The Nasdaq was on track for its biggest monthly decline since March 2025.

Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab slid 6.1% after ​hiking prices for iPads and MacBooks to counter surging memory and storage chip costs. Shares of Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab, Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab, and Alphabet (GOOGL.O), opens new tab were also down between ​0.5% and 3.5%.
Micron soared 15.7% after its earnings and forecasts beat Wall Street estimates. Still, concerns over debt-backed spending ⁠by hyperscalers and fears of a more hawkish Federal Reserve kept weighing on the market this week.

Memory chipmaker Sandisk (SNDK.O), opens new tab also soared 22%. Qualcomm, Western Digital (WDC.O), opens new tab and Seagate Technology (STX.O), opens new tab all popped...

Stocks were mixed on Thursday as blowout earnings from Micron (MU) failed to deter a sell-off in Big Tech, while a fresh inflation report showed prices rising again in May.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) slipped 0.5%, while the S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell below the flat line following several tough days for Wall Street stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI), which includes fewer tech names, climbed 0.1%.

Six of the 11 major S&P 500 sectors moved higher, led by industrial stocks (.SPLRCI), opens new tab which rose 2.2%. Consumer discretionary and consumer staple stocks lost the most ground while tech stocks (.SPLRCT), opens new tab dropped ​0.1%...

The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index (.SOX), opens new tab rose 3.2% and was on track for its strongest quarter on record, according to LSEG ‌data.

The U.S. ⁠Department of Commerce released a slew of data on Thursday.

U.S. inflation increased further in May, breaking above 4.0% for the first time in three years on higher energy prices, and potentially drawing the Federal Reserve closer to raising interest rates.

In response to rising price pressures, traders anticipate the Fed will lift interest rates by at least 25 basis points before the year-end, according to LSEG data.

A final reading of first-quarter GDP data showed the economy grew by ​2.1%, compared to a prior estimate ​of 1.6%. Meanwhile, jobless claims data ⁠showed a higher-than-expected fall in the number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits.
