Negative Sentiment: Intel’s roughly 25% selloff following weak fourth-quarter guidance, margin pressure, and a PC-market downturn raised concerns about broader semiconductor demand and potential delays or caution among chipmakers’ capital-spending plans. Although Intel reported progress in its 18A process, the sector read-through was negative for equipment suppliers. Silicon Shock: Intel’s 25% Valuation Reset
Negative Sentiment: Valuation concerns may also be weighing on ASML.
