  • Wolfspeed shares lost nearly half their value Friday as comments by the semiconductor firm's outgoing interim Executive Chairman brought concerns about whether it will secure federal funding for its expansion efforts.

Wolfspeed, a company specializing in silicon carbide chips, experienced a significant drop in its stock price, falling over 18% after it was reported that the company might not receive the expected funding from the CHIPS and Science Act. This act aims to boost domestic semiconductor production in the U.S. The concerns arose after Wolfspeed's CEO, Gregg Lowe, mentioned in an interview that the company had not yet received any funds from the $52 billion allocated for semiconductor manufacturing.
