On October 30, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares rose 11.49% in After-Hours Trading, trading at $46.67, with turnover of $43.70 million.
The move followed renewed volatility across 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 noting its Taylor, Texas fab is set for mass production in 2027.
Additional context showed Samsung's chip division profit came in slightly below market expectations and its new shareholder return plan was postponed until late January. Earlier on October 29, this backdrop coincided with sharp gains in inverse leveraged semiconductor ETFs, including intraday and pre-market advances of more than 8%, suggesting the latest after-hours rise remained closely tied to heightened downside hedging and amplified sector swings.
The fund invests at least 80% of net assets in instruments designed to deliver 3X daily inverse exposure to a rules-based index tracking the 30 largest U.S.-listed semiconductor companies, and it is non-diversified.
