Samsung earnings trigger sell-off, INTC drops nearly 10% in one day

Event Interpretation

Good news exhausted
Samsung's better-than-expected earnings triggered profit-taking instead, as the market worried that AI chip demand was already priced in, sparking a chain reaction sell-off.
Foundry pressure
INTC's 18A process lacks substantive customer verification, and the foundry business continues to lose money, making it the worst-performing stock in the sector stampede.
Equipment stocks fall in sympathy
AMAT, KLAC, and LRCX, as leaders in semiconductor equipment, also plunged, and Morgan Stanley's target price hike failed to stop the sell-off.
