Shares of several companies in the broader technology sector, including Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:AMD), NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:NVDA) and Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:AMAT), are all trading lower amid overall market weakness as the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to escalate.
