On October 9, MONTAGE TECH fell 3.44% in regular trading, trading at HK$263.8, with turnover of HK$31.73 million. The decline was driven by broad weakness in storage chip stocks after Samsung Electronics reported third-quarter preliminary earnings below market expectations.

Samsung's third-quarter sales came in at 195 trillion Korean won and operating profit at 107.4 trillion Korean won, both missing consensus estimates. TrendForce data showed that while DRAM supply remains tight in the fourth quarter, the pace of contract price increases is slowing, and concerns persist that capacity expansion across the industry could weigh on chip prices further out.

Within the semiconductor sector, SMIC fell 1.5%, Hua Hong Grace fell 3.29%, GigaDevice fell 2.96%, Biren Tech fell 0.46%, and Iluvatar CoreX fell 3.25%.
