Event summary
Shares of Photronics, Qorvo, and Texas Instruments experienced significant drops following Broadcom's earnings miss, which reset expectations for AI chip spending, and a stronger-than-expected jobs report that reduced hopes for near-term interest rate cuts. The market-wide selloff in the semiconductor sector was exacerbated by the sensitivity of chip valuations to discount rate movements. Photronics, in particular, has seen high volatility but investors who bought five years ago are still looking at a substantial return.
