The semiconductor sector is seeing bifurcated sentiment. On the positive side, a $21 billion Japan-US semiconductor production deal and analyst upgrades for Onsemi highlight strong demand for specific chip segments. However, CoreWeave's stock and bonds are sliding due to mounting debt concerns, reflecting broader anxiety about the financing costs of AI infrastructure. Additionally, software stocks like PLTR and IBM retained gains while others like NET and CRWD lost rebounds, indicating that AI enthusiasm is becoming more selective and focused on profitability over growth.
