On August 5, Tower Semiconductor fell 7.08% in regular trading, trading at 225.76 USD/share, with turnover of approximately $59.07 million. The decline reflects profit-taking pressure following a substantial short-term rally despite strong Q2 earnings.

The company reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $0.88, significantly beating the consensus estimate of $0.76, while revenue of $460.08 million topped the $454.68 million estimate. Q3 revenue guidance of approximately $520 million far exceeded the FactSet consensus of $490 million. Notably, its silicon photonics business annualized revenue surged from $180 million a year ago to $680 million, driven by robust AI-related optical interconnect demand.

Despite the strong results, the stock had previously rallied sharply from approximately $192, with pre-market prices touching near $247. The significant accumulated gains over a short period, combined with broader semiconductor sector weakness including Advanced Micro Devices declining 5.49%, intensified selling pressure as investors locked in profits.
