The S&P 500 fell 0.42% to 4,122.47, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.19% to 12,493.93. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 58.13 points, or 0.18%, to close at 32,774.41.

Outside of chips, a pair of Nasdaq-listed stocks also got hit. Novavax slumped nearly 30% after slashing full-year revenue guidance because of poor demand for its Covid vaccines.
