Chip Stocks Broadly Decline: Intel and AMD Drop Over 5%
nashnova research
Chip stocks fell across the board on Thursday, with Intel and AMD down more than 5% leading the decline; storage, equipment, and foundry names all slid — no segment was spared.
Who got hit the hardest?
Intel (INTC) and AMD each dropped more than 5%, the steepest falls in the sector.
This means → selling pressure landed squarely on the two x86 CPU giants, not on one company's idiosyncratic bad news.
When both fall in lockstep, it typically signals that confidence in the entire PC and server chip chain is weakening.
How did storage and hardware hold up?
Seagate, Western Digital, and SK Hynix each fell more than 4%, dragging the storage segment down.
In plain terms = when companies that "make chips" and companies that "store data" sell off together, the issue is not one sub-sector — capital is pulling out of semiconductor hardware systematically.
Did equipment and foundry names escape?
No. ASML and TSMC dropped over 3%; Nvidia, Micron, and Broadcom fell more than 2%.
This means → even the "pick-and-shovel" players — ASML (which builds lithography machines) and TSMC (the world's largest foundry) — got dragged down. The sell-off was chain-wide and indiscriminate.
When equipment, foundry, design, and storage all decline simultaneously, the driver is usually macro- or flow-level, not any single company's fundamentals.
