Shares of big tech companies -- from Apple Inc. to IBM -- took a hit Thursday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned of a business slowdown and results from Cisco Systems Inc. signaled weakening spending by U.S. corporations.
The world's largest networking gear maker posted a profit above Wall Street's expectations Wednesday. But investors sent shares down more than 7 percent, as the company didn't raise its guidance as some had expected and as it has in past quarters.
In addition, equipment orders from large U.S. corporations grew more slowly than in the year-ago period.
"After enjoying three years of accelerating growth, it appears top-line trends may be moderating," wrote Raymond James analyst Todd Koffman in a note to investors, downgrading Cisco to "Market Perform" from "Strong Buy."
Cisco's shares fell $2.76, or 8.4 percent, to $29.99 in midday trading. Still, the stock has gained more than 37 percent in the past 52 weeks.
With investors already jittery about the ongoing credit crisis and the weakening dollar, Bernanke's warning he expects business growth to slow down sent stocks sharply lower Thursday.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 144.12, or 1.08 percent, to 13,155.90.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index fell 74.63, or 2.72 percent, to 2,674.13.
Shares of Hewlett-Packard Co. fell $3.15, or 6.1 percent, to $48.69. The world's biggest technology company by revenue said Wednesday it will take a charge of $30 million in the fiscal fourth quarter as it shifts resources from camera design and distribution to focus on home photo printing and online photo services.
Like HP, software and Internet company Microsoft Corp. is a component of the Dow Jones industrial average. Microsoft fell 75 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $34.77. Fellow Dow component Intel Corp. was off $1.42, or 5.3 percent, to $25.48.
IBM's shares slid $6.05, or 5.4 percent, to $105.03.
Business software maker Oracle Corp.'s shares tumbled $1.84, or 8.3 percent, to $20.26. Noting that the company has outperformed expectations for the past three quarters, Citi Investment Research analyst Brent Thill said "expectations may need to be tempered due to macro headwinds."
Shares of Apple Inc. fell $15.34, or 8.2 percent, to $170.96. The stock has more than doubled in the past 52 weeks.
Computer maker Dell Inc.'s shares fell $1.19, or 4 percent, to $28.13.
Search leader Google Inc. was down $46.41 or 6.4 percent, to $686.49, while rival Yahoo Inc. slipped $1.29, or 4.6 percent, to $26.34.
Online auctioneer eBay Inc. fell $1.31, or 3.9 percent, to $32.38 and Internet retailer Amazon.com Inc. slid $4.39, or 5.1 percent, to $82.65.
Shares of data storage provider EMC Corp. fell $2.14, or 9.6 percent, to $20.
