Amkor Technology's stock plummeted 10.61% during intraday trading on Tuesday, as the semiconductor equipment sector faced broad-based selling pressure.
The sharp decline was primarily driven by a sweeping selloff across the semiconductor equipment industry, with major peers posting near double-digit declines. Lam Research fell 10.71%, Teradyne dropped 10.34%, Applied Materials declined 10.15%, KLA-Tencor lost 9.0%, and ASML Holding fell 7.34%.
This industry-wide downturn and strong sector correlation effects served as the primary driver behind Amkor's sharp pullback, partially reversing previous gains the company had made following its ten-year strategic partnership agreement with TSMC announced earlier in June.
