On June 26, Tokyo Electron fell 3.8% in regular trading, trading at $224.24/share, with turnover of $17.17 million.
On the news front, Japan's five major chip equipment makers reported their first-ever annual decline in China sales, with combined revenue of 1.47 trillion yen, down 12% year-over-year. Tokyo Electron was hit particularly hard, with its China sales ratio dropping to 27% in the January-March quarter, down 7 percentage points year-over-year and sharply below its peak of 50%. Front-end process equipment manufacturers suffered even steeper losses, with Tokyo Electron and peers seeing combined China sales decline nearly 20%.
The decline reflects accelerating semiconductor equipment localization in China, where domestic production rates have doubled over four years. Companies such as Naura Technology and AMEC are steadily capturing market share from foreign suppliers, with Beijing mandating over 50% domestic procurement for new fab lines.
The broader semiconductor equipment sector traded sharply lower, with Lam Research down 6.73%, Applied Materials down 6.01%, KLA-Tencor down 5.05%, Teradyne down 8.97%, and ASML down 3.88%.
