Intel, AMD, and Applied Materials Drop 4% as SK Hynix Rout and Oil Spike Hit Chip Stocks

Shares of Intel, AMD, and Applied Materials fell 4% following a profit estimate miss by SK Hynix, which triggered a 15% plunge in its stock and a brief trading halt. This decline was further exacerbated by a spike in WTI crude oil prices to $74 due to renewed U.S.-Iran tensions. The immediate trigger was SK Hynix's Q2 2026 profit estimate falling 8% below consensus, attributed to slow HBM4 shipments, impacting other chip companies and the broader semiconductor ETF.
