On October 30, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares rose 16% in Pre-Market Trading, trading at $48.78/share, with turnover of $94.8989 million.
The move aligned with fresh pressure on semiconductor shares after Samsung said chip investment would be directed toward new fabs and other infrastructure to meet artificial intelligence and high-performance computing demand, while its chip division profit came in slightly below market expectations and its new shareholder return plan was postponed to late January.
Additional details indicated Samsung expects its Taylor, Texas wafer fab to begin mass production in 2027 to support foundry growth. Recent reports also showed that major technology companies are maintaining elevated AI spending, but semiconductor stocks have struggled to respond positively as investors assess whether rising in-house chip development could eventually challenge suppliers such as Nvidia. In that backdrop, volatility in inverse leveraged semiconductor products has increased markedly.
The fund invests at least 80% of net assets in instruments designed to deliver 3X daily inverse exposure to a modified float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index tracking the 30 largest U.S.-listed semiconductor companies. The fund is non-diversified.
