TREE NEWS reports: The S&P 500 Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Index closed down 6.38% at 10,433.34 points on Friday, bringing its weekly loss to 1.99% and its October decline to 13.65%. The index had briefly risen to 12,691.43 in early trading on Oct. 6 before steadily declining, and held near 11,000 points from Oct. 15-29. Constituents were almost uniformly lower, with Intel crashing 28.58%, Qualcomm falling 11.12%, and AMD and Marvell each dropping at least 10.05%.
S&P 500 Semiconductors Index Falls 6.38% as Intel Plunges 28.58%
The breadth of the selloff matters more than the headline index move: nearly every constituent fell, and Intel's outsized drop alongside double-digit declines at Qualcomm, AMD and Marvell points to sector-wide repricing rather than a single-name event. That the index gave back its early-October spike and then failed to hold near 11,000 suggests momentum broke down well before Friday's close. Whether the selling broadens beyond semiconductors into the wider tech complex is the open question worth watching.
