Wolfspeed, Inc. is trading 10.8% down at $59.84 as investors lock in gains following a sharp AI-driven rally and react to mounting macroeconomic pressures.
- The pullback follows a multi-day surge fueled by AI enthusiasm and short-covering, aligning with a cooling trend among recent high-flying semiconductor names.
- Sentiment is being weighed down by stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data and rising interest rate expectations, which have triggered a broader sell-off in growth stocks.
- The decline mirrors significant weakness across the chip sector, following notable drops in industry peers including Broadcom and Micron.
