Asian chip stocks fell on Wednesday after Dutch semiconductor equipment maker ASML posted disappointing sales forecasts, driving down global stocks in the sector. South Korean chipmaking heavyweight SK Hynix, which manufactures high bandwidth memory chips for AI applications for Nvidia, traded 1.6% lower. Net bookings for the September quarter were 2.6 billion euros ($2.83 billion), the company said — well below the 5.6 billion euro LSEG consensus estimate. Nvidia fell 4.7% and AMD lost 5.2%. In its June-quarter earnings presentation, ASML said that 49% of its sales come from China.
