Asian tech shares on Friday tracked losses in U.S. chip stocks after a downbeat earnings report from Broadcom

The weakness was pronounced in South Korea’s chip-heavy market. Samsung Electronics fell 6.4%, while SK Hynix dropped more than 9%. Other tech-related names also came under pressure, with Samsung SDI down over 6.43%, LG Display falling 5.65%.

The broader decline followed a sell-off in U.S. semiconductor stocks overnight after Broadcom tumbled more than 12% following a fiscal second-quarter revenue miss. The weakness spread across the sector, dragging the VanEck Semiconductor ETF down more than 1%, while Arm Holdings lost over 4% and Micron Technology slid nearly 8%.

“After such massive gains a ‘correction’ for recent winners was (and still is) sorely needed for a reset,” Andrew Jackson, equity strategist at Ortus Advisors, said on Friday.
