The US Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security has issued a new rule this week that widens the range of companies subject to export restrictions, Applied Materials said in a regulatory filing Thursday. The company expects that to cost it $600 million in lost revenue in fiscal 2026, which runs through next October.
- TSMC (TSMC) is rallying on news Huawei's Ascend AI processors were found to contain advanced components from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Samsung Electronics Co., and SK Hynix Inc.

- Boeing (BA) is showing little movement but investors are following news that the company is slated to fly its 777X commercially for the first time in early 2027, a fresh setback to the US planemaker.
