On July 17 Kioxia shares fell as much as 16.1% intraday to the ¥52,110
limit-down level, trading at under half their June 22 intraday peak of ¥112,700.
Following a prior rally in semiconductor stocks, selling accelerated amid
investor caution. Kioxia’s market value, which had approached ¥60 trillion in
June and briefly ranked first on the Tokyo Stock Exchange main board, slid below
¥30 trillion intraday and fell to fifth place.
