On July 15, iShares A.I. Innovation and Tech Active ETF declined 5.1% in regular trading, trading at $44.29/share, with turnover of $133 million.
On the news front, Meta's announcement to rent out idle AI computing capacity undermined the core market narrative that computing power remains perpetually scarce, triggering a broad reassessment of AI infrastructure valuations. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has fallen approximately 12% in July. Meanwhile, a Goldman Sachs fund flow report revealed that U.S. hedge funds have been net sellers of semiconductor and hardware technology stocks for four consecutive weeks, reflecting intensifying profit-taking sentiment across the AI trade.
Across the broader semiconductor space, Micron Technology fell over 8%, Intel dropped more than 5%, and AMD declined over 5% in the same session, underscoring sector-wide selling pressure.
