Rotation out of semiconductors intensifies

The information technology sector (-2.5%) is one of just two S&P 500 sectors that trade lower this morning, pressured by a 5.4% slide in the PHLX Semiconductor Index. Memory names, AI-infrastructure names, and large chipmakers are all under pressure, while Corning (GLW 116.34, -27.02, -18.85%) holds the widest loss after earnings.

Coca-Cola (KO 89.38, +5.32, +6.32%) and Sherwin-Williams (SHW 352.74, +25.47, +7.78%) trade sharply higher after earnings, contributing to the outperformance of the DJIA. The S&P 500 Equal Weighted Index (+0.7%) also outperforms this morning, highlighting that weakness is concentrated in large technology stocks.
