KLA Corp

KLA's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NYSE">KLAC</a>) short percent of float has fallen 16.8% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.83 million shares sold short, which is 2.13% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.95 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>KLA Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744905618_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for KLA has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing KLA's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, KLA's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.84%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

What's Driving the Market Sentiment Around KLA?

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">semiconductor sector</a> is bracing for a shakeup, and JPMorgan&#8217;s Harlan Sur isn't mincing words. "Expect in-line results but tariff/trade related dynamics to drive weaker 2Q/2H25 and negative earnings revision cycle." That's Wall Street-speak for buckle up &#8211; it's about to get bumpy.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariff Troubles: A 15-25% EPS Trim Ahead?</h2>
As first-quarter earnings begin to roll in, Sur says the Street should prepare for a "kick off negative earnings revision cycle," with forward EPS estimates potentially being slashed by 15-25% over the next few quarters. Investors hoping that semi stocks had already hit bottom after a ~25% tariff-driven slump may be in for another jolt &#8211; Sur sees another 10-15% downside from here.
But this isn't just about numbers. The broader concern is about confidence, or lack thereof. "Rapidly changing tariff headlines are negatively impacting consumer and business confidence," Sur notes, with turn business — which can make up 20-30% of guidance &#8211; now at risk due to reduced visibility. Add in China's latest tariff volley against U.S.-fabricated chips, and names like Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), Texas Instruments Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>), Qorvo Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QRVO#NASDAQ">QRVO</a>), and Skyworks Solutions Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWKS#NASDAQ">SWKS</a>) suddenly look exposed.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI And Datacenter: The Only Bright Spots</h2>
That said, JPMorgan isn't throwing out the entire chip basket. Sur urges a "selective" approach, spotlighting Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Marvell Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) and Analog Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADI#NASDAQ">ADI</a>) as top picks &#8211; all tied closely to AI and data infrastructure. These are the companies best positioned to ride the "strong demand in accelerated compute/AI," even if GPU giants like Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) face potential downside from tightening China restrictions and "upcoming AI diffusion rules."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">EDA, Semicap: Downturn-Proof Darlings</h2>
In the tools-of-the-trade corner, KLA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>) and Synopsys Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>) also earn JPM's stamp of approval. EDA players like Synopsys are seen as resilient. "R&amp;D budgets don't get cut in downturns," Sur says, a mantra every long-term investor in chip design software should pin to their monitors.
Meanwhile, the "flat-to-down" outlook for WFE (wafer fab equipment) in 2025 spells more caution for semicap names, though JPMorgan still favors Applied Materials Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>), KLA Corp, and Lam Research Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>) &#8211; all expected to outperform thanks to "rising capital intensity" and growing service revenue.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Down-Cycle Playbook Moment Is Here</h2>
The macro backdrop remains fraught. JPM economists now peg the chance of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645681/jpmorgan-raises-recession-risk-to-60-as-largest-us-tax-hike-in-60-years-hits-global-economy">U.S. recession at 60%</a>, as the tariff storm clouds hang heavy. Demand pull-forward in smartphones might make the first quarter look fine, but "incremental conservatism" is expected to dominate the second quarter and H2 guidance.
Bottom line? 
This is a "down-cycle playbook" moment. The sector's long-term structural story — AI, content tailwinds, and rising chip complexity — remains intact. But for now, it's all about threading the needle between "inevitable slowdown" and the pockets of AI-driven strength.
And as Sur says, "remain selective on stocks."

Broadcom, Marvell, Synopsys: The Chips That Might Not Crumble In The Coming Storm

The first-quarter <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors" rel="noreferrer noopener">semiconductor earnings parade</a> kicks off with ASML Holding (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44832382/nvidia-supplier-asml-beats-revenue-and-eps-estimates-euv-product-mix-performance-milestones-drive-q1-says-ceo" rel="noreferrer noopener">on Wednesday</a> and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) on Thursday, followed by the U.S. semi and semicap peers in the following week.
For U.S. chip vendors, BofA Securities analysts Vivek Arya and Duksan Jang expect first-quarter results to beat as their original outlook was likely conservative and tariff-related pull-ins created a better demand environment.
However, the second-quarter outlook could be in line as companies could widen the guidance range.

Regarding tariff impact, Arya and Jang expect U.S. chip companies to follow the example of early reporting companies Taiwan Semiconductor, ASML, Texas Instruments Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>), and Lam Research Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>).
The analysts generically express concern on second-half demand headwinds and quantified gross margin headwinds from inflationary supply chain movements (such as Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvda#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)) and higher U.S. sourcing.
Overall, semi-industry overhangs could persist pending clarity on new sectoral tariff rates (next several weeks), China retaliation, U.S. reciprocal tariffs, and AI diffusion rules (May 15).
On the positive side, despite some downside to estimates, valuation has become more compelling for high-quality areas in cloud/AI (Nvidia, Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avgo#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>)), design software (Cadence Design Systems, Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cdns#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>), Synopsys, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>)) and semicap (Lam Research, KLA Corp (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/klac#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>)).
The analysts laid down two potential scenarios, which are modest tariff impact and dire tariff impact. Their modest scenario aligns with limited China and reciprocal tariffs, while the dire scenario implies the implementation of specific sectoral tariffs on semis/electronics (tariff rates not yet announced).
In a modest scenario, tariffs could drive roughly ~4% hit to calendar 2025 sales and ~6% hit to calendar 2026 versus current consensus, with EPS declines mostly ranging between 5%-25% (12%-13% average) inclusive of 150bps gross margin hit.
In a dire scenario, estimates could be further pushed down, with a 9% and 12% sales decline in calendar 2025 and 2026 and EPS declines mostly ranging between 15%-50% (25%-30% average) inclusive of a 500bps gross margin hit.
For revenue impact, the analysts noted companies with AI/cloud/industrial exposures to fare better in a potential tariff-induced demand downturn.
At the same time, those with consumer/auto are at greater risk. Nvidia, Lam Research, Cadence Design Systems, Synopsys, and Applied Materials, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>) are among the companies with the least potential sales impact (at -1% to -6% sales impact), while Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>), Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXPI#NASDAQ">NXPI</a>), ON Semiconductor Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>) could fare worse (at -7% to -9% impact).
Importantly, even under the above distressed EPS scenario (dire tariffs), Nvidia, Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), Synopsys, and Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) have a 30%+ potential upside to historical P/E or PEG multiple at current stock price.
In a modest tariff scenario, the EPS hits of 12%-13% (2-2.5 times sales) are well below the 30%-40% reductions the analysts have seen in prior market downturns. However, the primary concern is PE multiple compression due to enhanced market risks.
The SOX index is currently trading at ~18 times forward PE, below the broader SPX at ~20 times, though above the 12-14 times PE at prior semi-industry downturns. Notably, the SOX index has more than given up the ~20% PE premium it gained during AI-fueled stock gains in calendar 2023 and 2024.

These Semiconductor Stocks To Face Least Tariffs Impact Compared To Intel

Risk sentiment took a sharp blow Wednesday afternoon after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell linked rising tariffs to higher inflation and slower growth, while making it clear the central bank has no intention <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44848474/fed-chair-powell-says-tariffs-lead-to-temporary-rise-in-inflation">of cushioning market losses.</a>
In remarks at the Economic Club of Chicago, Powell said the inflationary effects of tariffs could be more persistent than previously thought, and warned that current policy uncertainty makes it difficult to gauge their full impact. 
Most notably for Wall Street, Powell addressed the notion of a so-called "Fed put"—the belief that the central bank would intervene if markets drop sharply—and offered a blunt response: "I'm going to say no."
That single line pushed traders to recalibrate expectations for any near-term monetary support.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Stocks Tumble As Chipmakers Extend Losses</h3>
By 3:15 p.m. ET, the S&amp;P 500 – as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – had dropped 3.1% to 5,230 points, while the Nasdaq 100 – tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) plunged 4.1% to 18,050, dragged down by the tech-heavy weighting of the index. 
The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 838 points, or 2.1%, and the Russell 2000 small-cap index also fell 2.1%.
Nearly every sector turned red, with the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>) nosediving 5%. Energy stocks were the sole exception, buoyed by higher crude prices and safe-haven commodity demand.
Semiconductors were particularly hard hit following fresh export restrictions on Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips to China. 
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) plummeted 6.8%, with Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) both down around 10%.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gold Shines In Flight To Safety</h3>
As stocks tumbled, gold prices climbed, continuing their powerful 2025 rally. The precious metal hit new record highs, rising to over $2,350 an ounce, and is now up 26% year to date. 
With the Nasdaq 100 down 23% over the same period, gold has outperformed the tech index by nearly 50% in less than four months.
Gold's appeal has grown amid mounting inflation concerns, policy uncertainty, and geopolitical tension.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Powell: No Market Rescue This Time</h3>
Powell's refusal to endorse the "Fed put" marked a sharp shift in tone from the central bank's more accommodative stance in past downturns. While he acknowledged market volatility, he said both equity and bond markets were "functioning" and "orderly."
"Markets are struggling with a lot of uncertainty, and that means volatility," Powell said. "But having said that, markets are functioning."
The Fed chair emphasized that rate decisions will continue to focus on economic data, especially inflation and employment, and not on asset prices.

Stocks Sink As Powell Dismisses 'Fed Put' Safety Net, Gold Extends Massive Lead Over Nasdaq

U.S. major indices traded lower at midday Wednesday, pressured by sharp declines in tech and semiconductor stocks after Washington tightened chip <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/china">export restrictions to China.</a>
The U.S. government has barred Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) from selling its H20 chips to China — a move that could wipe out an estimated $5.5 billion from the company's projected quarterly revenue. Nvidia shares slid nearly 7%.
Other chipmakers also felt the heat. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) dropped 6% as its MI308 chips fall under the new licensing requirements.
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) sank 3.4%, extending the sector&#8217;s losses. Adding to the drag, Dutch chip equipment giant ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) missed quarterly revenue estimates, sending its shares down 5%.
On the macro front, March retail sales surprised to the upside, rising 1.4% month-over-month — topping forecasts of 1.3% and marking the strongest monthly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44837237/march-retail-sales-post-highest-surge-in-over-two-years-as-us-consumers-anticipate-tariff-jitters">gain since January 2023.</a>
Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar saw renewed selling pressure, with the dollar index dipping back below 100. Treasury yields were little changed, with the 10-year yield holding steady near 4.33%.
Gold continued its stellar run, surging 2.5% to a fresh record high of $3,320 per ounce as demand for safe-haven assets remains robust.
In commodities, oil prices rebounded sharply, with WTI crude climbing 2% to $62 a barrel. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also edged up 1.3% to around $84,500.
All eyes are now on Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who is set to speak at the Economic Club of Chicago later this afternoon.

Reuters reports, citing industry calculations, that the new tariffs could cost U.S. semiconductor equipment makers more than $1 billion annually.
Applied Materials, Lam Research, and KLA may each suffer a loss of close to $350 million over a year related to the tariffs.
Chip equipment makers have already lost billions in revenue due to the Biden administration&#8217;s semiconductor sanctions on China.
The Trump administration is weighing further duties on the chip industry and initiated a probe into their imports on Monday.
Applied Materials, Lam Research stocks have tanked ~30% in the last 12 months.
Needham analyst Charles Shi and KeyBanc analyst Steve Barger&nbsp;had predicted that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/43741255/applied-materials-navigates-china-slowdown-analysts-see-early-recovery-despite-soft-guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. tariffs on</a> China would weigh on Applied Materials&#8217; second-quarter results, considering the company&#8217;s exposure to the country.

Shares of chip stocks are trading lower after NVIDIA said it was recently informed by the US government that it will need a license to export chips to China. Additionally, warned that tariffs have increased uncertainty surrounding the company's outlook, which may be adding to the weakness across the board.

Stifel analyst Brian Chin maintains KLA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>) with a Buy and lowers the price target from $825 to $750.

Stifel Maintains Buy on KLA, Lowers Price Target to $750

A $500 billion commitment by Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) to build artificial intelligence supercomputers exclusively in the U.S. is drawing attention from Washington to Wall Street <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">as reshoring trends accelerate.</a>
In a Tuesday post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump announced the move and said Nvidia will receive expedited permits for its ambitious U.S.-based AI infrastructure investment, calling it a "very big and exciting news."
The announcement comes amid a broader push from the Trump administration to accelerate domestic technology manufacturing and reduce reliance on China. Trump also pledged to expedite all necessary permits for other companies investing in what he dubbed the "Golden Age of America."
Over the weekend, the administration confirmed exemptions to new tariffs of up to 145% on critical tech imports such as smartphones and semiconductors—moves aimed at shielding U.S. tech leaders from global trade friction.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bank of America Sees Earnings Tailwinds From Reshoring</h3>
In a note shared Monday, Bank of America semiconductor analyst Vivek Arya said earnings expectations for U.S.-based companies benefiting from reshoring remain on solid footing. 
"We expect earnings estimates from companies exposed to reshoring beneficiaries to remain well positioned to largely deliver on earnings expectations," Arya said.
Nvidia, in particular, was highlighted as a top sector pick alongside Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>), chip-design leaders Cadence Design Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>) and Synopsys Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>) as well as semiconductor capital equipment makers Lam Research Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>) and KLA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>).
Bank of America holds a $200 price target on Nvidia, implying an 80% upside from its current $110 share price. The bank values the stock at 33 times expected calendar year 2026 earnings, excluding cash—within its historical 25x to 56x forward price-to-earnings range.
According to Arya, this valuation is justified given Nvidia's broader exposure to long-term secular trends, including artificial intelligence infrastructure, gaming cycle recovery and robust data center demand.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h3>
NVIDIA shares edged up 0.2% in premarket trading Tuesday, following a 0.2% dip on Monday. The stock has surged 28% since last week's lows, which were triggered by renewed tariff fears.
Top premarket risers within the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) were KLA Corp., Onto Innovation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONTO#NASDAQ">ONTO</a>) and ASML Holding N.V.

Trump Hypes $500 Billion NVIDIA Investment In US AI Supercomputers: 'Golden Age Of America' Begins

A temporary delay in new U.S. tariffs on tech imports from China sparked <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">a broad semiconductor rally</a>.
What Happened: The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) jumped 2.5% by 9:40 a.m. ET Monday, extending its rally to 19% from last week's lows.
Monday&#8217;s top individual gainers within the SOXX ETF included:
<ul>
<li>Entegris Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENTG#NASDAQ">ENTG</a>) surged 6.7% to $74.37</li>
<li>Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) rose 6.1% to $20.95</li>
<li>Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) gained 5.8% to $73.56</li>
<li>Qorvo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QRVO#NASDAQ">QRVO</a>) added 5.1% to $59.16</li>
<li>MKS Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MKSI#NASDAQ">MKSI</a>) climbed 4.2% to $68.25</li>
<li>Universal Display Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OLED#NASDAQ">OLED</a>) rose 3.8% to $117.02</li>
<li>Texas Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>) advanced 3.7% to $153.01</li>
</ul>
In a research note published on Monday, Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya called the one-to-two-month delay on electronics tariffs &#8220;incrementally positive.&#8221; The delay, which allows industry debate before the White House finalizes so-called &#8220;sectoral&#8221; tariffs targeting semiconductors, was enough to trigger <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chipmakers">sharp gains in chip stocks</a>.
Sentiment also improved following the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's decision Friday to exclude several electronic categories—such as smartphones and PCs—from immediate reciprocal tariffs.
"The delay is a net positive," Arya said, citing how electronics represent roughly 50% of global chip demand. 
"It allows for debate and discussion on this critical end-market,&#8221; he added. 
Arya noted that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), the world's largest semiconductor buyer, was also excluded from tariff pressure during Trump&#8217;s first term.
Arya reaffirmed a bullish stance on chipmakers with exposure to artificial intelligence and reshoring themes, including Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>).
Cadence Design Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>) and Synopsys Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>) remain his key preferences among chip-design software firms.
For semiconductor capital equipment—a group seen as direct beneficiaries of U.S. manufacturing—Arya highlighted Lam Research Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>) and KLA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>).
The analyst also noted a potential tailwind from increased domestic production efforts. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>)&#8217;s $195 billion U.S. investments, Apple's $500 billion pledge and Nvidia's $200 billion U.S. expansion could all influence the shaping of final tariff rules.
"We expect over time for TSMC to front-end process most—if not all—semis required by its U.S. fabless customers within its Arizona fabs," Arya said, adding that a potential Intel-TSMC joint venture could further boost domestic chip output.

Why It Matters: Despite Monday's rally, Arya maintained a cautious view on chipmakers heavily exposed to consumer-facing segments like smartphones and PCs. 
After all, President Donald Trump clarified Sunday that electronics aren&#8217;t fully exempt. They will instead be folded into a separate sector-focused tariff plan to be announced in the coming months. 
Therefore, it&#8217;s unclear how sectoral tariffs will apply to U.S. electronics assembled in China using foreign-made chips.
"Semis remain a high beta sector and exposed to volatility," Arya said. However, he expects companies tied to AI and infrastructure to remain well-positioned to deliver on earnings expectations.
One risk Arya flagged is the upcoming May 15 compliance deadline for new U.S. rules governing the export of AI chips, which could limit shipments outside a small group of 19 &#8220;Tier 1&#8221; nations.
Still, with the delay in electronics tariffs offering space for negotiation, investors appear to be betting that the worst-case trade scenarios for U.S. chipmakers could be avoided, at least for now.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">Semiconductors may power</a> everything from Tesla Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) cars to toothbrushes, but they can't outrun geopolitics.
With trade tensions heating up again, chip stocks have already taken a 25–30% hit, and JPMorgan analyst Harlan Sur says, &#8220;We see the potential for further ~10% downside (range of 5-15%) over the next six months.&#8221;
The good news? That may be the final flush before a rebound.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs Aren't The Problem &#8211; Demand Destruction Is</h2>
Despite investor jitters, Sur says the direct impact of tariffs on chipmakers is minimal. Most U.S.-designed chips are manufactured and tested abroad, not directly shipped into the U.S., shielding them from most tariff crossfire. Even China's retaliatory moves barely dent the sector directly.
Instead, the real problem lies in sticker shock. With end-products like smartphones and cars expected to rise 5–10% in price, consumers may start pulling back. A $300-more-expensive iPhone or a costlier EV could stall demand, ultimately hurting semiconductor sales.
Inventory caution from buyers only adds to the pressure.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2018 Called &#8211; It Wants Its Trade War Back</h2>
Sur points to the 2018 U.S.-China tariff battle as a cautionary tale. Back then, chipmakers were riding high—until trade tensions slammed the brakes on the upcycle. Demand weakened, earnings were revised down and stocks nosedived by up to 35%. Memory stocks were hit the hardest, while software-centric names like Synopsys proved more defensive.
Sur sees echoes of that pattern in 2025: stocks are selling off ahead of earnings cuts, which could help clear the air for recovery. If history repeats, a three-to-five-month drawdown followed by a Fed-assisted rebound isn't out of the question.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Broadcom, Analog Devices, KLA, Synopsis: Selective Is The Safe Play</h2>
In this storm, Sur's sticking with what held up last time. He favors Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Analog Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADI#NASDAQ">ADI</a>), KLA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>) and Synopsys Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>) &#8211; stocks that blend strong fundamentals with exposure to AI, design software and increasing chip complexity.
These names outperformed during the 2018-2019 drawdown and are positioned to be more resilient this time around.
The bottom line? 
Semiconductor stocks may not be done falling, but with earnings resets coming soon, the worst might be behind us.

반도체 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">섹터</a>가 변화의 바람을 맞이하고 있고, JP모건의 할란 서(Harlan Sur)는 이를 명확히 전달하고 있다. &#8220;결과는 예상에 부합하겠지만, 관세/무역 관련 역학이 약한 2분기/하반기 25와 부정적인 이익 수정 사이클을 이끌 것&#8221;이라고 말했다. 이는 월스트리트에서의 &#8216;준비하라&#8217;는 의미로, 상황이 험난해질 것이라는 예고이다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">관세 문제: 15-25% 주당순이익 감소 예고?</h2>
1분기 실적이 발표되기 시작하면서, 서는 시장이 &#8220;부정적인 이익 수정 사이클의 시작을 준비해야 한다&#8221;고 말하며, 향후 몇 분기 동안 주당순이익(주당순이익) 추정치가 15-25% 줄어들 가능성이 있다고 경고했다. 약 25%의 관세로 인한 하락 이후 반도체 주식들이 바닥에 이미 도달했기를 바라는 투자자들은 또 다른 충격을 받을 수 있다. 서는 여기서 추가로 10-15% 하락할 것으로 보고 있다.
하지만 이것은 단순히 숫자에 관한 문제가 아니다. 더 큰 우려는 신뢰 문제, 즉 신뢰가 부족하다는 점이다. &#8220;빠르게 변화하는 관세 뉴스는 소비자와 기업 신뢰에 부정적인 영향을 미치고 있다&#8221;고 서가 언급하며, 20-30%의 가이던스를 차지할 수 있는 기업들이 이제는 가시성 감소로 위험에 처해 있다고 말했다. 여기에 중국의 미국산 칩에 대한 최신 관세 공격이 더해지면서, 인텔(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), 텍사스 인스트루먼트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>), 코보(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QRVO#NASDAQ">QRVO</a>) 및 스카이웍스 솔루션(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWKS#NASDAQ">SWKS</a>) 등은 갑자기 노출 위험에 처하게 되었다.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI와 데이터 센터: 유일한 밝은 점</h2>
그렇긴 해도, JP모건은 전체 반도체 바구니를 버리지 않는다. 서는 &#8220;선별적인&#8221; 접근을 권장하며, 브로드컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), 마벨 테크놀로지스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) 그리고 아날로그 디바이시스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADI#NASDAQ">ADI</a>)를 AI와 데이터 인프라와 밀접하게 연결된 최고의 선택으로 주목하고 있다. 이러한 회사들은 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)와 어드밴스드 마이크로 디바이시스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)와 같은 GPU 거대 기업들이 중국 규제 강화 및 &#8220;다가오는 AI 확산 규정&#8221;으로 인해 잠재적인 단점에 직면하더라도 &#8220;가속화된 컴퓨팅/AI에 대한 강력한 수요&#8221;를 이용할 수 있는 최적의 위치에 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">EDA, 반도체 장비: 경기 하락에 강한 인기 상품</h2>
업계 도구 코너에서는 KLA(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>)와 시높시스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>)도 JPM의 승인을 받았다. 시높시스와 같은 EDA 업체는 회복력이 있는 것으로 평가된다. &#8220;R&amp;D 예산은 경기가 하락할 때 줄어들지 않는다&#8221;고 서가 말하며, 반도체 설계 소프트웨어에 장기 투자하는 모든 이들이 모니터에 붙여야 할 만트라다.
한편, 2025년 WFE(웨이퍼 제조 장비)에 대한 &#8220;보합 또는 하락&#8221; 전망은 반도체 장비 회사들에 대한 추가적인 주의를 의미하지만, JP모건은 여전히 어플라이드 머티리얼즈(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>), KLA Corp 및 램 리서치(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>)를 선호하며, 이들은 &#8220;자본 집약도 상승&#8221;과 서비스 수익 증가 덕분에 우수한 성과를 낼 것으로 예상된다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">하강 사이클 플레이북 순간이 도래</h2>
거시적 배경은 여전히 위태롭다. JPM 경제학자들은 현재 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645681/jpmorgan-raises-recession-risk-to-60-as-largest-us-tax-hike-in-60-years-hits-global-economy">미국의 경기 침체 확률을 60%</a>로 평가하고 있으며, 관세 폭풍 구름이 무겁게 드리워져 있다. 스마트폰 수요 증가로 1분기는 괜찮아 보일 수 있지만, 2분기와 하반기 전망에서는 &#8220;점진적인 보수주의&#8221;가 지배적일 것으로 예상된다.
결론은?
이것은 &#8220;하강 사이클 플레이북&#8221; 순간이다. 이 섹터의 장기적인 구조적 이야기는 인공지능(AI), 콘텐츠의 호재, 증가하는 칩 복잡성으로 여전히 유지되고 있다. 하지만 지금은 &#8220;불가피한 둔화&#8221;와 AI 기반 강세의 주머니 사이에서 균형을 잡는 것이 중요하다.
그리고 서가 말하길, &#8220;주식에 대해 선별적으로 접근하라&#8221;고 한다.

Benzinga Pro의 독점 뉴스 및 도구로 더 많은 승리를 거두세요 
독점 속보 및 스캐너와 같은 Benzinga Pro의 강력한 도구 세트로 다른 트레이더보다 우위를 점하세요. 
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?t=be2bewe5mibe3bz3&amp;utm_source=bz-kor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">여기를 클릭</a>하여 14일 무료 체험을 시작하세요.

수요일(16일) 오후 제롬 파월 연준 의장이 관세 인상을 인플레이션 상승과 성장 둔화에 연결시키면서 연준이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44848474/fed-chair-powell-says-tariffs-lead-to-temporary-rise-in-inflation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">시장 손실을 완화할 의사가 없음</a>을 분명히 한 후 위험심리는 급격한 타격을 입었다.
파월 의장은 시카고 이코노믹 클럽 연설에서 관세의 인플레이션 효과가 이전에 생각했던 것보다 더 지속적일 수 있다고 말하며, 현재의 정책 불확실성으로 인해 관세의 전체 영향을 측정하기 어렵다고 경고했다.
특히 파월 의장은 월가에서 시장이 급락할 경우 연준이 개입할 것이라는 믿음인 이른바 &#8216;연준 풋&#8217;에 대해 언급하며 단호한 반응을 보였다. &#8220;나는 아니라고 말하겠다.&#8221;
이 한 마디에 트레이더들은 단기적인 통화정책 지원에 대한 기대치를 재조정했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">주가 하락, 반도체 기업 손실 확대</h3>
수요일 SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)가 추적하는 S&amp;P 500 지수는 2.24% 하락한 5,275.70포인트로 마감했고, Invesco QQQ Trust(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)가 추적하는 나스닥 100 지수는 기술주 중심 압박으로 인해 3.04% 하락한 18,257.64포인트로 마감했다.
다우존스 산업평균지수는 1.73% 하락했고, 838포인트, 즉 2.1% 하락했다. 소형주 중심 러셀 2000 지수도 2.03% 하락했다.
거의 모든 섹터가 하락으로 전환했으며 기술 선택 섹터 SPDR 펀드(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>)는 3.47% 급락했다. 에너지 주식은 유가 상승과 안전 자산 수요로 인해 유일한 예외였다.
반도체는 중국행 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) 칩에 대한 새로운 수출 제한으로 인해 특히 큰 타격을 받았다.
iShares 반도체 ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>)는 3.86% 하락했고 엔비디아는 6.87% 하락, AMD(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)는 7.35% 하락했다.
<h3>안전자산 선호 속 금 상승</h3>
주식이 하락하는 동안 금값은 상승하며 2025년의 강력한 랠리를 이어갔다. 금은 온스당 2,350달러를 넘어서며 사상 최고치를 경신했고, 현재까지 26% 상승했다.
같은 기간 나스닥 100 지수가 23% 하락한 것과 비교하면, 금은 4개월 만에 기술 지수를 50% 가까이 상회하는 시장수익률을 기록했다.
인플레이션 우려, 정책 불확실성, 지정학적 긴장이 고조되는 가운데 금의 매력은 더욱 커지고 있다.
<h3>파월 &#8220;이번엔 시장 구조 없다&#8221;</h3>
파월 의장이 &#8216;연준 풋&#8217;을 지지하지 않은 것은 과거 경기 침체기에 중앙은행이 취했던 완화적인 자세에서 급격한 기조 전환을 의미한다. 그는 시장 변동성을 인정하면서도 주식과 채권 시장이 모두 "기능"하고 "질서"를 유지하고 있다고 말했다.
"시장은 많은 불확실성으로 어려움을 겪고 있으며, 이는 변동성을 의미한다. 하지만 그럼에도 불구하고 시장은 기능하고 있다."
파월 의장은 금리 결정은 자산 가격이 아닌 경제 데이터, 특히 인플레이션과 고용에 계속 초점을 맞출 것이라고 강조했다.

파월 의장, '연준 풋' 기대 일축···미국 증시 하락, 금 상승세 확대

KLA 코퍼레이션(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>)의 주식이 목요일 4% 이상 상승했다. 이는 대만 반도체 제조(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>)의 실적이 예상보다 좋게 나타난 것과 동반하여 발생한 일이다.
하지만 KLA 코퍼레이션은 하락세로 반전될 가능성이 있다. 그래서 이 주식을<a href="https://kr.benzinga.com/?s=%EC%98%A4%EB%8A%98%EC%9D%98+%EC%A3%BC%EC%8B%9D" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 오늘의 주식</a>으로 선정했다.
모멘텀은 주식이 주어진 시간 동안 얼마나 상승 또는 하락했는지를 측정하는 지표입니다. 대부분의 경우 주식은 일반적인 거래 범위 내에서 거래된다.
판매자들이 공격적으로 가격을 이 범위 아래로 밀어내면 거래자들은 이를 과매도 상태라고 한다. 반대로 구매자들이 가격을 범위 이상으로 밀어올리면 트레이더들은 이를 과매수 상태라고 한다.
이러한 역학 관계는 중요하다. 많은 거래 전략이 평균으로의 회귀 개념에 기반하고 있다. 과매수 또는 과매도 상태인 주식은 평균 거래 범위로 다시 반전되는 경향이 있다.
주식의 모멘텀을 측정하는 방법은 수십 가지, 어쩌면 수백 가지가 될 수 있다. 이를 모멘텀 지표 또는 오실레이터라고 한다.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-737613" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/16144506/KLACorp-1024x550.png" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/16144506/KLACorp-1024x550.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/16144506/KLACorp-300x161.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/16144506/KLACorp-768x412.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/16144506/KLACorp.png 1527w" alt="" width="1024" height="550" /></figure>

일부 새로운 트레이더들은 너무 많은 지표를 사용하는 실수를 범한다. 그들은 연구를 많이 할수록 결과가 좋아질 것이라고 믿고 있다.
하지만 때때로 트레이더는 몇 가지 지표만 사용하고 이를 마스터하는 것이 더 나을 수 있다.
차트의 하단 부분은 상대 강도 모멘텀 지표(RSI)이다. 이는 인기 있는 지표이다. 파란선이 수평 빨간선보다 높으면 과매수 상태를 나타낸다. 현재 그런 상황이다.
가격 차트의 빨간선은 볼린저 밴드라고 한다. 이는 모멘텀을 측정하는 또 다른 인기 있는 방법이다.
이 선은 20일 이동 평균의 두 표준 편차 위에 있다. 통계학과 확률 이론에 따르면 95%의 거래는 평균의 두 표준 편차 내에서 발생해야 한다.
주식이 이 임계값을 초과하면 과매수 상태로 간주된다. 현재 그 상태이다.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KLAC">KLA 퍼레이션</a>이 두 지표 모두에서 동시에 과매수 상태로 나타났던 마지막 두 번의 경우, 매도세가 곧 이어졌다. 다시 발생할 가능성이 있다.
주가 움직임: KLA의 주식은 목요일 4.33% 상승한 $747.26에 마감되었다.

이들 10개 대형주는 지난주 최악의 성과를 거두었다. 그것들이 당신의 포트폴리오에 있나요?
1. 니오(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>)의 주식이 지난주 16.35% 하락했다. 이는 미국에 상장된 중국 주식들이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41385461" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">중국의 9월 수출이 예상치를 밑돌면서</a> 하락한 후 발생한 일이다. 중국 경기 부양책에 대한 불확실성도 최근 주식에 악영향을 미쳤다.
2. KLA 코퍼레이션(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>)의 주식이 지난주 15.58% 하락했다. 이는 ASML의 부진한 전망 발표 이후 지속적인 약세로 인한 것으로 보인다.
3. 센텐 코퍼레이션(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNC#NYSE">CNC</a>)의 주식이 14.38% 하락했다. 이 회사는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">10월 25일 3분기 실적을 발표</a>할 예정이다.

니오, ASML 및 CVS 헬스는 지난주 최악의 성과를 보인 10개 대형주 중 일부 (10월 14일-18일)

메타 플랫폼(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)은 &#8216;매그니피센트 7(Magnificent Seven)&#8217; 기업들 중 주식을 분할하지 않은 유일한 회사이기 때문에 주식 분할을 발표하는 다음 회사가 될 수 있다.
마호니 에셋 매니지먼트(Mahoney Asset Management)의 켄 마호니(Ken Mahoney) 사장에 따르면, 주당 500달러가 넘는 가격에 거래되는 메타는 &#8220;분할에 적합한&#8221; 것으로 간주된다. 블룸버그에 따르면 메타의 주가는 AI 관심, 자사주 매입, 새로운 배당금에 힘입어 2022년 최저치보다 450% 이상 급등했다고 블룸버그가 <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-11/meta-s-450-surge-offers-potential-for-next-big-tech-stock-split?srnd=technology-vp&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">보도</a>했다.
메타는 주주 가치를 극대화하기 위해 다양한 이니셔티브에 계속 참여하고 있다. 이 회사는 왓츠앱(WhatsApp)용 AI 광고 타겟팅을 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39228614/meta-introduces-ai-powered-ad-targeting-on-whatsapp-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">출시</a>하고 AI 도구를 통합하여 인스타그램이나 페이스북에서 실행되는 광고를 만들었다.
또한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39256166/meta-to-use-european-social-media-data-for-ai-training-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">보도에 따르면</a> 유럽의 공개 소셜 미디어 콘텐츠를 활용하여 생성 인공 지능 모델을 교육하려는 메타의 계획이 나타나 개인 정보 보호 단체의 항의를 불러일으켰다.
주식 분할은 주당 가격을 낮추어 개인 투자자와 직원들이 주식에 더 쉽게 접근할 수 있도록 해준다.
이는 메타와 같은 회사들을 다우존스 산업평균지수의 더 매력적인 후보로 만들 수 있다.
엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)의 최근 10:1 분할로 주가가 28% 상승하면서 이러한 관행에 다시 초점이 맞춰졌으며 뱅크 오브 아메리카의 분석가들은 기술 부문에서 더 많은 주식 분할이 예상된고 보고 있다.
이 은행의 분석가들은 최근 주식분할 후보로 브로드컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), 렘 리서치(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>), 슈퍼 마이크로 컴퓨터(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>), KLA(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>) 및 넷플릭스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)를 꼽았다.
주가 움직임: 메타의 주식은 화요일 0.97% 상승한 507.47달러에 마감했다.
면책 조항: 이 기사는 인공지능 도구를 활용한 콘텐츠 일부로 제작되었으며 Benzinga 편집인들이 검토하고 발행했다.
