Stock Market Falls From Record Highs, But These 3 AI Leaders Hit New Buy Points

U.S. markets were mixed as futures wavered and main indexes slipped from record highs amid geopolitical concerns. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq remained just below record levels after a Thursday pullback driven by Iran escalation fears. Several AI-related names (Allegro, Rambus, Silicon Motion) staged breakouts, while Comfort Systems and other individual stocks popped. Intel delivered a blockbuster after‑hours report, jumping roughly 16% in extended trading and bolstering chip‑stock sentiment. Overall the piece is a market‑commentary roundup: broad indexes paused near highs, sector winners (chips/AI) showed strength, and headline risk left sentiment mixed going into the next session.
