On June 23, KIOXIA Holdings fell 21.05% in regular trading, trading at $58.5/share, with turnover of $68.43 million. The sharp decline came amid a broad semiconductor sector selloff and intensifying concerns over the stock's stretched valuation after an 820% year-to-date surge.
Bernstein had recently reiterated its underperform rating on KIOXIA, warning that the stock carries approximately 50% downside risk unless long-term gross margins reach 65% or supply shortages persist through 2032. The firm projects NAND flash prices will peak around 2027, with gross margins normalizing to approximately 30% by late 2028, suggesting the current elevated profitability is unsustainable. Despite raising its target price to 40,000 yen to reflect short-term momentum, Bernstein maintained its bearish stance on the stock's long-term trajectory.
Within the Semiconductors sector, stocks declined broadly, with Micron Technology down 8.68%, Marvell Technology down 5.68%, Advanced Micro Devices down 4.92%, NVIDIA down 2.6%, and Intel down 2.31%.
