Technology stocks extended their Wednesday declines, with the SPDR Technology Select Sector ETF (XLK) falling 2.8% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropping 2.4% in afternoon trading, reversing a midday advance.
In company news, Cirrus Logic (CRUS) climbed 4.6% after the chipmaker exceeded Wall Street expectations with its fiscal Q2 results, earning $1.99 per share for the three months ended Sept. 24 and topping the Capital IQ consensus by $0.54 per share. Revenue grew to $540.6 million from $465.9 million during the year-ago period, also beating the $466.2 million analyst mean.
Super Micro Computer (SMCI) jumped more than 12% higher after reporting better-than-expected fiscal Q1 results and raising its revenue forecast for fiscal year 2023.
