ASML, European Semiconductor Stocks Follow U.S. Tech Slide -- Market Talk

Dow Jones02-27 01:14

1714 GMT - European semiconductor stocks joined U.S. tech stocks in falling sharply at the New York open, and both groups remain subdued. Investors reacted to chip giant Nvidia's fourth-quarter earnings. Despite record sales, the earnings failed to cool investor unease toward a stock market narrative built on artificial-intelligence expansion. Dutch lithography specialist ASML, the most valuable company in Europe, closed down 4.35%. Amsterdam-listed ASM International and BE Semiconductors also fell 4.15% and 4.4%, respectively. The Dutch trio lie upstream from Nvidia in the AI supply chain. Nvidia falls 4.4%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq drops 1.7%. (josephmichael.stonor@wsj.com)
