Stocks Rebound as Investors Flee Tech for Value Plays
13 Nov
Summary
- Investors shift capital from tech to industrials, financials
- Senate approves funding package to end 40-day government shutdown
- Sallie Mae shares jump nearly 5% amid broader market rally
On November 13, 2025, the stock market saw a significant shift as investors moved away from high-valuation technology and artificial intelligence (AI) stocks and reallocated capital to more value-oriented names in sectors like industrials and financials.
This market rotation was driven by growing concerns over inflated valuations in the tech and AI spheres. As investors reassessed risk, they sought out companies perceived to be more reasonably priced. Contributing to the positive momentum, markets were hopeful that a prolonged 40-day government shutdown would soon come to an end. The U.S. Senate had approved a compromise funding package, which was awaiting a vote in the House. The potential resolution of the shutdown brought a sense of relief to the markets.
Among the stocks impacted by the shift was Sallie Mae, a student loan company, whose shares jumped 4.9% on the day. This marked the second significant move for Sallie Mae's stock in the past month, as it had previously gained 4.8% on news of a cooler-than-expected inflation report and expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut.
