Datavault AI Inc (NASDAQ:DVLT) shares are trading lower on Wednesday afternoon, slipping alongside a broader pullback in U.S. equities, even after the company announced a new partnership with Fintech.TV to launch its patented AI media-rating technology.

Here’s what investors need to know.

Why Technology Stocks Are Struggling Right Now

Wall Street was on the defensive as weakness in technology and financial stocks weighed on the major averages. The Nasdaq-100 fell over 1% intraday, with semiconductor names such as Broadcom, Oracle and Nvidia under pressure, while bank stocks slid after earnings from large lenders. Energy shares were a rare bright spot as crude oil climbed for a sixth straight session.

The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average also moved lower, and the CBOE Volatility Index ticked higher as investors stayed cautious ahead of a Supreme Court ruling on the legality of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Against that risk-off backdrop, Datavault AI failed to hold early gains following its morning press release. The company said it is integrating a patented content-detection and real-time bias-meter system into Fintech.TV programming, using its ADIO inaudible-tone technology to power interactive polling and audience analytics.

The tools are designed to boost viewer engagement and open new data-monetization opportunities across the fintech media market.

While the announcement underscores Datavault AI's efforts to commercialize its Web3-enabled data and acoustic technologies, traders appeared more focused on macro headwinds on Wednesday, leaving Datavault AI shares weaker amid broad-based selling in growth and AI-linked names.
