Shares of semiconductor equipment maker Lam Research (NASDAQ:LRCX)
fell 4.3% in the afternoon session after an analyst at Morgan Stanley downgraded the stock and the broader semiconductor sector faced a sell-off. The investment firm lowered its rating on Lam Research to 'Underweight' from 'Equal-Weight' and trimmed its price target to $92 from $94. The analysts' concerns stemmed from expectations that the company's growth in China and in the NAND memory markets would slow down after two strong years. The stock's decline also occurred amid wider weakness in the tech industry, as the Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index fell 2%. Several chip companies, including Nvidia and Micron, also saw their shares drop, partly due to worries about high valuations in the artificial intelligence space.
