Rough Year for Technology Stocks

2022 was the year that technology stocks came crashing back to Earth.

The Nasdaq stock market, where most technology stocks are listed, was down 33% for the year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 8.8% and the S&P 500 was down 19.4% for the year.

With increasing interest rates and war in Ukraine, investors put a brake on the stock market and money-losing technology companies were hit especially hard. Cryptocurrency Bitcoin also plunged 64% on the year.

Below is a table of top technology stocks and their declines in 2022.
