Chip Stocks Crashed

This week, chip stocks crashed after U.S President Joe Biden’s administration announced fresh curbs that prohibit firms from providing advanced semi conductors to Chinese companies.

U.S chipmakers such as Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM), Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:TXN), Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO), Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU), AMD (NASDAQ:AMD), Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:MRVL), Analog Devices (NASDAQ:ADI), Microchip Technology (NASDAQ:MCHP) and Skyworks Solutions (NASDAQ: SWKS) saw their stock prices crashing in response to the news of the curbs.

In Singapore, semiconductor related companies such as AEM (SGX:AWX), Frencken (SGX:E28) and UMS (SGX:558) joined the decline.

In Singapore stock market, AEM led the decline by 21.67%.

Stock Name % Decline in 1 Week
AEM (SGX:AWX) (21.67)
Frencken (SGX:E28) (9.90)
UMS (SGX:558) (19.84)

By tabulating the % decline, it only gives a sentiment how bad the losses are. The decline in stocks related to semi conductors in Singapore seem relatively worst than the decline in stocks in the US stock market.

Among the chip stocks that crashed, I held Nvidia in my stock portfolio. Yes, I am also suffering losses due to the further curb that hit any companies that has any co-relationship to chips or semi conductors.

When I invested in Nvidia, I am aware of the risk of further curbs that can bring the share price down. I will adopt the strategy of further averaging down in tranches.

Even though the curbs are a “big setback to China”, it is “bad news” for global semiconductors.

What semi conductor or chip related stocks do you have in your stock portfolio that is hit badly by the sudden curb?
