On July 8 (U.S. Eastern Time), Silicon Motion Technology rose 5.34% in regular trading, trading at $310.65/share, with turnover of $162 million, as the broader storage sector staged a collective recovery.
On the news front, the storage sector is experiencing a technical rebound after panic selling triggered by Samsung Electronics' classic sell-the-news event. Samsung reported Q2 operating profit surging 1,810% year-over-year, yet its stock dropped nearly 10%, dragging global storage names lower — Silicon Motion had fallen over 7% in a single session. Following the sharp decline, bargain-hunting capital flowed back into the sector, with Western Digital up over 4%, SanDisk up over 3%, Seagate up over 2%, and Micron up over 1%, demonstrating a clear oversold bounce pattern.
However, Morgan Stanley has explicitly recommended underweighting semiconductors, warning that storage stock pullbacks still have further room, suggesting short-term bull-bear contests will persist.
