On July 29, GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. fell 5.15% in regular trading, trading at $46.57/share, with turnover of $92.50 million. The stock had surged over 12% in pre-market trading on positive news but reversed sharply during the regular session.

On the news front, GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. signed a letter of intent with the US Department of Commerce for a proposed $300 million CHIPS Research and Development award to advance silicon photonics technology. The funding is part of a broader $874 million semiconductor R&D initiative. As part of the arrangement, the Department of Commerce will receive approximately 1% equity in the company. Despite this significant federal backing, the stock exhibited a classic sell-the-news pattern as it failed to hold pre-market gains.

Within the Semiconductors sector, the overall performance was broadly weak. Among individual stocks, Micron Technology down 6.03%, Advanced Micro Devices down 6.21%, Intel down 4.37%, NVIDIA down 2.63%, SK hynix down 2.34%. The sector-wide selling pressure compounded the reversal from earlier pre-market highs.
