Hedge funds are abandoning US tech stocks at the fastest pace in over a decade:
The Technology, Media, and Telecom sector has seen the largest and most sustained outflows of any US sector in 2026. The net selling accelerated sharply in June to nearly -3% of total US gross market value, according to Goldman Sachs. Last week, hedge funds sold the most US Information Technology stocks in more than 10 years, in both dollar and percentage terms. This was driven by long and short sales at a ratio of roughly 1.3 to 1. Semiconductors and semiconductor equipment accounted for more than half of the total tech sales, having now been net sold for 8 consecutive sessions. Hedge funds are running to the exit in US tech.
