  • Teradyne, Kulicke and Soffa, Impinj, Microchip, IPG Photonics Stocks Slide on U.S.-China Semiconductor Summit Outcome
    May 21, 2026, 2:58 AM EDT. Shares of Teradyne, Kulicke and Soffa, Impinj, Microchip Technology, and IPG Photonics dropped sharply following the U.S.-China summit, which ended without key breakthroughs on semiconductor exports. Expectations for U.S. approval of Nvidia's H200 chip shipments to China were unmet, disappointing investors. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer indicated semiconductors were not a negotiation focus, dampening near-term optimism. Despite the sell-off, IPG Photonics' stock, known for volatility, remains down significantly from its 52-week high but has gained 34.3% year-to-date. Market reactions highlight cautious sentiment amid geopolitical tensions, with analysts skeptical about swift comprehensive deals due to national security concerns.
