  • Poet Technologies Stock Falls Amid Tech Sector Pullback and ServiceNow Earnings
    April 24, 2026, 11:49 AM EDT. Poet Technologies (NASDAQ: POET) shares dropped 7.3% by 2:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, hitting an intraday low of 15.7% amid broader tech sector weakness. The decline follows a strong weekly gain of 61%, suggesting a cooling off after recent gains. The tech downturn aligns with a 0.9% fall in the Nasdaq Composite as investors digest ServiceNow's mixed quarterly report. ServiceNow beat sales estimates but guided to slightly lower gross margins than expected, sparking concerns about pricing power in the software-as-a-service (SaaS) industry amid artificial intelligence-related disruptions. Poet, a supplier of optical technologies for AI networks, faced valuation pressures more from sector-wide caution than any direct business issues. The S&P 500 also slipped 0.4%, weighed by geopolitical and supply chain uncertainties linked to the Iran conflict.
