Wolfspeed Inc. (WOLF) saw its stock plummet 5.13% in Tuesday's intraday trading session, as the semiconductor company faced mounting challenges that raised concerns about its path to profitability.
According to a report from ClearBridge Investments, the investment firm exited its long-time holding in Wolfspeed due to continued execution missteps and cyclical headwinds impacting the company's core markets. Specifically, Wolfspeed has struggled to ramp up production at its new Mohawk Valley facility, failing to meet expectations despite being given ample time by ClearBridge.
Additionally, Wolfspeed has been impacted by cyclical headwinds affecting key applications such as electric vehicles, industrial, and energy sectors. These headwinds have repeatedly pushed back the company's timeline for achieving profitability, prompting ClearBridge to lose confidence in Wolfspeed's ability to execute its growth strategy effectively.
