Semiconductor stocks are experiencing their worst week since April 2025, with the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) down 1.99% intraday and 8.74% over the past week. This is attributed to shifts in AI themes and broad market weakness, making many technology stocks vulnerable to significant corrections.
