As the Magnificent 7 companies have estimated a total capital expenditure of over $330 billion on the artificial intelligence infrastructure in 2025, there is a possibility that China&#8217;s AI breakthrough, despite chip shortage, could affect their targets, affecting profitability.
What Happened: The Magnificent 7 companies are widely expected to spend more than $330 billion on capex in 2025. While the chipmaker Nvidia Corp. hasn&#8217;t explicitly mentioned a target during its earnings call, the iPhone maker Apple Inc. broadly expects to spend <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43912631/apple-forced-to-kiss-the-ring-expert-questions-whether-trump-pushed-the-iphone-maker-for-500-billion-investment">$500 billion</a> over the next four years.

According to Edward Yardeni, the President of Yardeni Research, the &#8220;AI bubble&#8221; could be &#8220;bursting&#8221; as China continues to scale its AI-linked technology with inexpensive chips.
He said, &#8220;The fear now is that open-source large language models (LLMs) like DeepSeek and Manus, developed in China, require much less powerful semiconductors to operate.&#8221;
&#8220;If so, then AI capital spending will tumble along with the profit margins on AI systems,&#8221; adds Yardeni.

Why It Matters: All Magnificent 7 companies have underperformed in 2025, except Meta Platforms Inc. The exchange-traded fund that tracks these seven companies, Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#BATS">MAGS</a>), has declined by 12.87% on a year-to-date basis.
Since DeepSeek was introduced on Jan. 24, MAGS has been down by 16.21% according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

The underperformance of Magnificent 7 companies can be attributed to "interest rate sensitivity," "unraveling trade tensions," and the high concentration of these stocks in the S&amp;P 500's market capitalization amid the market correction, according to John Murillo, the chief dealing officer at B2BROKER.
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, rose on Monday. The SPY advanced 0.77% to $567.15, and the QQQ also jumped 0.65% to $482.77, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.

The ongoing downturn in capital markets, precipitated by President Donald Trump's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44349466/trump-trade-policy-a-big-headache-for-customers-says-apple-supplier-foxconns-ceo-very-very-hard-to-predict-how-things-will-develop">tariff policies</a>, has eroded a significant chunk of value from entities tied to the president himself.
What happened: Shares of Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>), co-founded and <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44268596/trumps-net-worth-plummets-by-nearly-300m-as-djt-stock-drops-to-its-lowest-since-october">majority-owned by Trump</a>, have shed 48% of their value since the presidential inauguration. The stock closed at a five-month low of $19.17 last week.
The decline has coincided with a broader stock market selloff, with blue-chip averages like the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&amp;P 500, falling 3.7% and 5.3%, respectively, since Trump's White House return.
However, these losses paled in comparison to the hammering Trump's much-hyped Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) meme coin has taken in recent weeks.
After <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43257114/donald-and-melania-trump-memecoins-defy-market-lull-with-rallyanalyst-says-trump-bottomed-out-at-25">accumulating billions</a> in market value upon launch, TRUMP has lost course.&nbsp;

The Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based meme coin, whose majority supply is controlled by The Trump Organization, has collapsed 85% from its all-time high set just before Trump's inauguration.
Memecoins, especially those lacking community support and utility, are highly speculative investments, prone to wild swings in short periods. 
While TRUMP was certainly affected more, the risk-on markets suffered the brunt of Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44321506/trumps-tariff-policies-a-self-inflicted-wound-says-obama-era-treasury-secretary-larry-summers-economists-weigh-in-as-sp-enters-correction-zone">&#8220;chaotic&#8221; tariff measures</a> against some of America&#8217;s largest trading partners.

HealthEquity Gears Up For Q4 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

After several delays, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams have finally begun their journey back to Earth in a SpaceX capsule after an extended stay on the International Space Station (ISS).
What Happened: The astronauts departed early Tuesday morning, concluding a mission that extended far beyond its original timeline—the duo, along with two other astronauts, undocked from the ISS at 1:05 a.m. ET, beginning a 17-hour trip to Earth.
Their return marks the end of a mission initially planned as an eight-day test flight but extended due to technical issues with the Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) Starliner spacecraft.
Wilmore and Williams were part of NASA&#8217;s Crew-9 mission, which faced delays after the Starliner&#8217;s propulsion system malfunctioned. This led to NASA&#8217;s decision to bring them back using SpaceX&#8217;s Crew Dragon, the only operational U.S. orbital-class crew spacecraft.

The astronauts are expected to splash down off Florida&#8217;s coast at 5:57 p.m. ET. Upon their return, they will undergo health checks at NASA&#8217;s Johnson Space Center in Houston before reuniting with their families.
Wilmore and Williams conducted scientific research and maintenance tasks during their extended stay, including spacewalks. Their mission drew attention from U.S. President Donald Trump, who advocated for their earlier return.
Why It Matters: The return of Wilmore and Williams marks the resolution of a prolonged mission that was initially delayed due to technical issues with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft.
The astronauts were originally scheduled for a brief mission, but their stay was extended to nine months due to the propulsion system malfunction. In response, NASA and SpaceX <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44344973/nasa-spacex-one-step-closer-to-bring-back-astronauts-butch-wilmore-sunita-williams-stranded-due-to-boeings-starliner-issues-replacement-crew-launches-successfully">launched</a> a new crew to the ISS to facilitate their return.
Compounding the delay, a hydraulics<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44296357/spacex-crew-10-astronaut-launch-to-bring-back-stuck-astronauts-delayed-due-to-hydraulics-issue-says-nasa"> issue</a> with the SpaceX Crew-10 mission further postponed their return.
