The company will report its results Thursday. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF fell more than 3%, down for a fourth straight day. Micron and Advanced Micro Devices fell more than 8%. The PHLX Semiconductor index fell 4.5%. 

 

The S&P healthcare index, the consumer staples index, and the materials index all rose between 1.7% and 2.4%. Meanwhile, a decline in chipmakers kept the technology index down 1.4%. Shares of Corning fell 12?ter its June quarter sales missed estimates, while contract research firm IQVIA Holdings rose 14?ter the company reported better-than-expected results for the June quarter.
