onsemi, Skyworks Solutions, and Microchip Technology Shares Plummet, What You Need To Know - Yahoo Finance

What Happened? A number of stocks fell in the morning session after benchmark 10-year U. S. Treasury yields rose above 5.1%, renewing pressure on high-multiple technology valuations. The pullback follows a six-session climb that had lifted the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index by 14% since the start of the week, according to Nasdaq index data. Bond yields reached their highest level since July 2007 after a stronger-than-expected September composite purchasing managers' index of 58.4 pushed the implied probability of an October Federal Reserve interest-rate hike to 73%, according to Fed funds futures reported by Reuters. Sector sentiment also faced cross-currents from competitor supply and investor positioning. Samsung announced it is allocating over half of its 4-nanometer foundry capacity to high-bandwidth memory base dies, raising concerns about future supply competition. Meanwhile, investor Michael Burry expanded short positions in Micron and semiconductor exchange-traded funds on expectations that memory shortages are cyclical rather than structural, CNBC reported.

The claim originated in a video (archived here) posted on the Graham Dot Zip YouTube channel on October 12, 2026, under the title "I Sent an AI to My Job Interview. So Did the Company.
