On June 17, Wolfspeed declined 8.13% in regular trading, trading at $45.24/share, with turnover of $231 million. The decline was driven by ongoing share dilution concerns and broad-based semiconductor sector weakness.
The company previously filed a registration statement to sell up to 24.07 million shares of common stock at various times, representing approximately 49.8% of total shares outstanding. The massive potential dilution has continued to weigh on the stock since its disclosure, sustaining concentrated selling pressure. Since reaching a high on June 8 following a partnership announcement with GE Aerospace, the stock has experienced sharp volatility characterized by rapid surges and declines.
The semiconductor sector saw widespread losses on the same day, with Intel down 6.43%, Marvell Technology down 6.10%, Advanced Micro Devices down 5.49%, Micron Technology down 4.14%, and NVIDIA down 1.73%, amplifying downward momentum through sector linkage.
Wolfspeed completed Chapter 11 bankruptcy restructuring earlier this year, but its latest quarterly results showed a net loss of $119.9 million, indicating fundamentals remain in a recovery phase with limited support for the share price.
