Market Focus
Jul 27

On July 27, Tower Semiconductor fell 5.11% in regular trading, trading at $221.86/share, with turnover of $79.59 million. The stock reversed sharply from pre-market gains of over 5%, which had been fueled by continued enthusiasm around the company's Japan silicon photonics expansion announcement.

The broader semiconductor sector turned decisively lower during regular trading, dragging Tower Semiconductor along with it. Within the Semiconductors sector, individual stocks declined broadly: SK hynix fell 7.28%, Advanced Micro Devices fell 6.58%, Micron Technology fell 5.46%, Intel fell 3.68%, and NVIDIA fell 3.50%.

Tower Semiconductor had surged over 18% on July 14 after announcing a $4 billion strategic expansion of 300mm silicon photonics, silicon germanium, and advanced packaging capacity in Japan, supported by a $1 billion grant from Tokyo. The company subsequently raised its business model targets to $3.6 billion in revenue and $1.2 billion in net profit by 2028. However, sector-wide selling pressure during regular trading overwhelmed the residual positive sentiment from these developments.
