Shares of companies within the broader tech sector are trading lower amid AI competition concerns from China's DeepSeek AI model.

Plexus Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLXS#NASDAQ">PLXS</a>) reported worse-than-expected first-quarter sales results and issued second-quarter revenue guidance below estimates, after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLXS/earnings">closing bell on Wednesday.</a>
Plexus reported quarterly earnings of $1.73 per share which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.59 per share. The company reported quarterly sales of $976.000 million which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $982.220 million.
Plexus said it sees second-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.46 to $1.61 per share, versus market estimates of $1.59 per share. The company projects revenue of $960 million to $1.00 billion, versus expectations of $1.015 billion.
Todd Kelsey, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, &#8220;Our team&#8217;s agility and responsiveness enabled strong operating performance in the fiscal first quarter, resulting in robust financial results to begin fiscal 2025. We delivered fiscal first quarter revenue of $976 million, in-line with expectations, and non-GAAP operating margin of 6.0%, near the high end of our guidance and consistent with our long-term goal. This contributed to non-GAAP EPS of $1.73, which exceeded guidance. Furthermore, free cash flow generation surpassed expectations, benefiting from the ongoing efforts of our fiscal 2024 initiatives to drive sustained improvement in working capital efficiency.&#8221;
Plexus shares fell 10.1% to close at $153.30 on Thursday.

Insights From Analysts
The performance of the &#8216;Magnificent 7&#8217; companies will drive corporate earnings growth, according to the analysts at BlackRock because these firms possess robust balance sheets, significant cash reserves, and negative net debt, enhancing their resilience to rising interest rates.
&#8220;Even in a higher-rate environment, we still think stocks can keep pushing higher as long as fundamentals stay strong,&#8221; the note stated.
BlackRock&#8217;s current stance remains risk-on as it anticipates the broadening of the AI beneficiary pool. However, it will monitor for potential triggers that may necessitate a shift in investment strategy.
According to Jason Goepfert, consultant at White Oak Consultancy and the founder of SentimenTrader, the S&amp;P 500 index was headed toward a rebound from a two-month low to a record high in just seven sessions on Wednesday. However, it didn&#8217;t close at a fresh record.
If the S&amp;P 500 hits a new record high in Thursday&#8217;s session, it will be its second fastest rebound over eight sessions, with the first quickest rebound recorded on June 24, 1998.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Just barely missed yet another 97-year record in the S&amp;P 500. It was on track to cycle from a 2-month low to record high in only 7 sessions. If it does so tomorrow (8 sessions), the only date that had a quicker rebound was Jun 24, 1998.
