Investors are anxious heading into the final trading session of the week, after AI concerns gripped equity markets again to trigger a fresh sell-off — this time, hitting the logistics and real estate sectors.
Here's how some of the worst-hit stocks were faring in premarket trading on Friday.

On Thursday, logistics stocks became the latest victims of the AI fear trade, thanks to a new tool from AI firm Algorhythm Holdings. The tool, called SemiCab, touts itself as "the world's most well-orchestrated transportation platform." Logistics giants C.H. Robinson and RXO — which fell as much as 20% each on Thursday — moved in opposite directions ahead of the bell on Friday morning. The former rebounded slightly, adding 0.7%, while RXO extended losses to decline a further 1.5%.
