Stock Track04-28 21:41

Applied Materials' stock plummeted 5.03% during intraday trading on Tuesday, reflecting broad weakness in semiconductor-related shares.

The decline follows a Wall Street Journal report that OpenAI missed sales targets and user acquisition goals, raising concerns about the ChatGPT parent's ability to support massive data center spending. This news triggered a sell-off across chip stocks, with equipment makers like Applied Materials particularly affected.

Other chip-making equipment companies including Lam Research and KLA Corp also fell between 3% and 4.9% in premarket trading, indicating sector-wide pressure driven by worries over AI-related demand.
