On July 17, KIOXIA HLDGS CORP fell 10.86% in pre-market trading, trading at $31.56/share, with turnover of $160,000. The stock has now declined over 50% from its June all-time high, as a global AI chip selloff intensifies.
On the news front, the broader semiconductor sector continues to face systemic selling pressure. The Nikkei 225 fell over 4% intraday, entering technical correction territory, with KIOXIA among the hardest hit. Meanwhile, Bernstein analyst Mark Li set a target price of 40,000 yen — implying roughly 40% further downside — citing China's YMTC reaching 13% global NAND market share in Q1, up 5 percentage points year-over-year, with projections to surpass KIOXIA by 2028. As a pure-play NAND company, KIOXIA faces greater risk exposure than diversified peers like Samsung and SK Hynix. Its high-beta profile has consistently amplified sector-wide drawdowns, with hedge funds aggressively reducing AI-related exposure over the past five to six weeks.
Within the Semiconductors sector, Micron Technology down 2.92%, NVIDIA down 2.76%, Advanced Micro Devices down 3.76%, Intel down 3.97%, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing down 3.54%.
