Tech Takes a Breather; Dyna’s “Taku” Robot Visits the Set 10/13/26

Despite a volatile, AI-anxious tape, analysts argue chip and bank fundamentals remain solid while psychology, not earnings, drives the pullback.

• Memory semis slide six straight days: SOX down ~8% in the streak as Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron and SanDisk fall on China competition fears (CXMT gained RAM share to 9.5% from 7.2%) and casino-comment fallout from Broadcom's Hock Tan.
• Gil Luria defends Micron: DA Davidson analyst says Micron (<6x forward earnings) deserves a multiple re-rating toward AMD/Intel (40x+) since memory is no longer a commodity but a planned, long-term-contracted data-center input.
