Chipmakers got crushed: the PHLX Semiconductor Index fell 6.7%, with Sandisk ($SNDK) and Micron ($MU) each shedding ~10% on profit-taking after semis roughly doubled in Q2. Rivian ($RIVN) was a bright spot, jumping ~8% after beating Q2 delivery estimates and raising full-year guidance to 65Kโ70K vehicles.
