  • Entegris, Penguin Solutions, Skyworks Shares Plunge Amid Semiconductor Sell-off
    June 16, 2026, 9:14 PM EDT. Entegris, Penguin Solutions, and Skyworks Solutions shares fell sharply following a semiconductor sector sell-off triggered by record high crowding in chip stocks, according to Bank of America's fund manager survey. May import prices unexpectedly rose 1.9%, fueling inflation concerns despite hopes the Iran peace deal would ease price pressures. The market anticipates a potentially hawkish stance from the Federal Reserve's Kevin Warsh. Skyworks shares, volatile with frequent large swings, dropped amid these pressures, despite a year-to-date gain of 11.3%. The sector faces additional headwinds from the SpaceX IPO reallocations and geopolitical tensions, leaving investors cautious. This pullback highlights risks in heavily crowded trades and may present buying opportunities in quality chip stocks.
