Stock Track | Applied Materials Plummets 5.05% Intraday Amid Michael Burry Short Position and CEO's $55 Million Share Sale

Stock Track07-02 22:28

Applied Materials (AMAT) shares plummeted 5.05% during intraday trading on Thursday, extending recent weakness in the semiconductor equipment maker's stock.

The sharp decline followed news of dual selling pressure on the stock. Legendary hedge fund manager Michael Burry, famous for predicting the 2008 housing crisis, publicly announced new short positions in Applied Materials, arguing that AI-related stock rallies have become excessive. Concurrently, a regulatory filing confirmed that Applied Materials' President and CEO, Gary Dickerson, sold 78,321 shares between June 29 and June 30, cashing out approximately $55 million.

The combination of a high-profile investor taking a bearish stance and significant insider selling weighed heavily on market sentiment, contributing to the stock's steep intraday decline.
