On July 29, Tower Semiconductor fell 5.17% in regular trading, trading at $193.25/share, with turnover of $88.68 million. The stock continued its multi-day decline as sector-wide selling pressure persisted.

On the news front, the semiconductor sector remains under systematic selling pressure, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index having pulled back over 20% from its highs, entering a technical bear market. Major peers declined broadly, with Advanced Micro Devices down 4.51%, Micron Technology down 4.16%, NVIDIA down 2.30%, and Intel down 2.26%. Additionally, Corning's Q3 guidance disappointed the market, with implied sequential growth decelerating sharply from 9% in Q2 to just 3%-6%, triggering a broad sell-off in optical communication concept stocks. Tower Semiconductor, as a core silicon photonics player following its recent Japan 300mm capacity expansion announcement, was notably impacted by the optical communication weakness.

The stock had previously surged over 18% on July 14 after announcing strategic expansion of silicon photonics and SiGe capacity in Japan, and the recent pullback also reflects profit-taking pressure from that rally.
