On July 29, Silicon Motion Technology fell 5.43% in regular trading, trading at $209.00/share, with turnover of $76.598 million. The storage chip sector continued to face broad-based selling pressure ahead of the company's post-market earnings release.

On the news front, Morgan Stanley recently warned that the AI-driven semiconductor storage boom is approaching an inflection point, with memory contract prices expected to peak in Q4, signaling a profound shift in the current industry cycle. Additionally, the IPO of ChangXin Memory is reshaping global storage competition dynamics, threatening the pricing power and market share of established players. The broader sector declined in tandem, with Micron Technology down 4.73%, Advanced Micro Devices down 5.09%, and SK hynix down 1.11%.

Despite consensus estimates projecting quarterly revenue growth of 123.78% year-over-year and adjusted EPS growth of 292.11%, cycle-peaking expectations combined with pre-earnings caution continued to suppress sector valuations, driving capital outflows across storage names.
