On October 8, Applied Materials fell 3.01% in regular trading, trading at $505.82/share, with turnover of $353 million.

The semiconductor equipment sector weakened broadly, with rising U.S. Treasury yields and Middle East geopolitical concerns triggering profit-taking pressure across technology heavyweights. Peer stocks also declined, including Lam Research, KLA Corporation, and Teradyne.

Goldman Sachs recently turned constructive on the semiconductor sector after the selloff, viewing the third-quarter earnings season as a constructive trading window and favoring semiconductor equipment among four key themes. However, short-term market sentiment remains weighed down by sector-wide weakness.
