Semiconductor stocks led the weekly declines on the Nasdaq index as the broader AI trade took a hit. Seeking Alpha reported that the tech-heavy index came under pressure following a pullback in investor enthusiasm for high-growth semiconductor companies that had previously seen significant gains.

NDAQ closed at $92.37 on October 8, 2026, with the stock reaching a day high of $92.69 and a low of $91.1 during that session. The decline is attributed to a wider correction in the AI trade, representing a notable shift in market sentiment for the sector.
