Stocks fell as a steep decline in technology shares that started last week carried through to Monday.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.4 percent to 7,630. Shares of Facebook and Netflix fell 2.2 percent and 5.7 percent, respectively. Amazon declined 2.1 percent while Google-parent Alphabet fell 1.8 percent. The Nasdaq also notched a three-day drop of 3.86 percent, its biggest since late March, when it lost 5.12 percent over three sessions.

The declined 0.6 percent to 2,802.60 as the tech sector dropped 1.8 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 144.23 points to close at 25,306.83 as Visa and American Express lagged.

Tech shares dove last week after Facebook dropped 19 percent Thursday on reporting weaker-than-expected revenue and lowering its revenue growth forecast. Facebook's massive drop sent the tech sector down 1.15 percent last week.

"The guys at the top don't stay there forever," said Kim Forrest, senior equity analyst at Fort Pitt Capital. "I don't see anyone displacing them right now, but they do have to make changes to their business models. For example, Facebook has to spend more money to make sure people aren't abusing the platform. Investors like more money, not less."
