On August 18, POET Technologies Inc fell 8.24% in regular trading, trading at $8.625/share, with turnover of approximately $40.56 million. The decline came as the broader semiconductor sector faced significant selling pressure.

The Semiconductors sector where POET Technologies Inc belongs saw widespread declines across major names. Among individual stocks, Micron Technology fell 6.41%, Intel fell 6.59%, Advanced Micro Devices fell 5.36%, Broadcom fell 3.34%, and NVIDIA fell 2.49%.
