On September 3, Lam Research fell 3.37% in regular trading, trading at $281.65/share, with turnover of approximately $109 million. The decline came amid a dual overhang of insider selling disclosure and continued analyst target price reductions.

On the news front, company executive Varadarajan Seshasayee disclosed on September 2 plans to sell 59,750 shares of common stock valued at approximately $17.41 million, with no prior reduction in holdings over the preceding three months. Meanwhile, UBS recently lowered its target price on Lam Research from $435 to $425 while maintaining a Buy rating, and Mizuho also trimmed its target from $370 to $365. The successive downward revisions from multiple institutions continued to weigh on market sentiment.

The broader Semiconductor Equipment sector faced widespread pressure on the session, with peers ASML Holding down 3.02%, KLA Corporation down 2.11%, Teradyne down 2.74%, Applied Materials down 1.67%, and AXT Inc down 3.64%.
