Semiconductor stocks in the U.S. tumbled after Texas Instruments raised alarms with a fourth-quarter revenue forecast that trailed the lowest estimate on Wall Street. Lynx Equity, including analysts KC Rajkumar and Jahanara Nissar, warned clients that the Dallas company’s miss was “not an auspicious start to the earnings seasons for semis.”

Intel Corp., Xilinx Inc., Microchip Technology Inc., Analog Devices Inc. and Nvidia Corp. were among chipmakers that fell more than 2% in after-hours trading. Texas Instruments plunged as much as 11%.
