SMH is trading at $538.37, with a -1.84% change, as renewed doubts about AI infrastructure financing and profitability pressure chipmakers.

  • Reports describe declines across Asian and European semiconductor shares, reversing Monday’s chip rebound.
  • Investors remain concerned about the burden of heavy AI investment and whether returns will justify the spending.
  • The pullback reflects sector-wide financing fears rather than a catalyst specific to one company.
