On July 28, Silicon Motion Technology fell 5.28% in pre-market trading, trading at $233.35/share, with turnover of $165,700. The decline extends selling pressure from the prior session as the broader storage chip sector remains under significant pressure.

On the news front, Morgan Stanley issued a latest report warning that the AI-driven semiconductor storage industry boom is approaching an inflection point, with memory contract prices expected to peak in Q4, signaling a profound shift in the current industry cycle. Concurrently, the IPO of CXMT (a major Chinese DRAM producer) is reshaping global storage competition dynamics, with its large-scale fundraising accelerating capacity expansion and threatening to erode the pricing power of established U.S. storage companies over the medium to long term.

Within the Semiconductors sector, the overall tone remains bearish. Among individual stocks, Micron Technology down 7.28%, SK hynix down 6.35%, Intel down 5.37%, Advanced Micro Devices down 5.12%, and NVIDIA down 1.12%. Despite Silicon Motion Technology's expected 123.78% year-over-year revenue growth for the quarter to be reported on July 29, cycle-peak concerns continue to weigh on sector valuations.
