On June 30, Tokyo Electron fell 3.35% in regular trading, trading at $238.42/share, with turnover of $9.1957 million. The stock notably underperformed its semiconductor equipment peers, which broadly advanced during the session.
On the news front, Japan's five major chip equipment makers reported their first-ever year-over-year decline in China sales, recording a combined 1.47 trillion yen, down 12% from the prior fiscal year. Tokyo Electron was hit particularly hard, with its China sales ratio falling to 27% in the latest quarter, sharply retreating from a peak of 50%. The three front-end process equipment makers — Tokyo Electron, SCREEN, and KOKUSAI — saw combined China sales drop nearly 20%. China's semiconductor equipment localization rate has doubled over four years, with domestic players such as NAURA and AMEC accelerating market share gains at the expense of foreign suppliers.
Within the Semiconductor Equipment sector, peers moved higher: Applied Materials up 1.92%, ASML up 2.67%, Lam Research up 2.86%, KLA-Tencor up 2.84%, Enphase Energy up 4.05%.
