The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) has seen a notable decline of more than 6% this week, primarily influenced by substantial losses in several major semiconductor companies. Astera Labs has plunged 23%, followed by Marvell Technology at 20%, Arm Holding at 19%, Micron Technology at 13%, and STMicroelectronics at 12%.
This downturn highlights the volatility within the semiconductor sector and may signal broader challenges for investors in this market, particularly as these companies are critical players in the technology supply chain
