On July 13, Semtech fell 5.24% in regular trading, trading at $130.835/share, with turnover of $17.22 million. The decline came amid a broad semiconductor sector selloff, with the industry facing sustained selling pressure throughout July.
The pullback is linked to a broader unwinding of the popular AI-driven strategy of buying chip stocks and selling software stocks. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has fallen 12% in July, despite posting its best quarterly performance on record and remaining up 78% year-to-date. The trade showed signs of cracking after recording both its largest single-day outperformance and largest single-day relative decline in history within the same month.
Within the Semiconductors sector, stocks declined broadly: Micron Technology down 7.2%, Intel down 5.63%, Advanced Micro Devices down 5.45%, Broadcom down 3.05%, and NVIDIA down 1.46%. Semtech itself has fallen over 20% in July while remaining up roughly 75% year-to-date.
