Why Lam Research Stock Sank Today

Lam Research Corporation LRCX shares are trading lower Thursday amid a selloff in tech on rate hike fears following US jobs data.

Some stocks in the sector are also under pressure amid China's planned iPhone crackdown and Huawei's announcement of a new smartphone powered by a 5G Kirin 9000s chip.

What To Know: In an attempt to restrict its dependence on foreign technology, China enacted a ban on Apple AAPL devices for official purposes on Thursday. Tech and semiconductor stocks got slammed in response amid fears of a growing trade war between U.S. and China and  further-reaching bans.

Huawei's Mate 60 and Mate 60 Pro smartphones, boasting performance levels matching those of 5G speeds, have helped support China's mission, offering a Chinese-made high-end smartphone which can realistically compete with the iPhone.
