Why Wolfspeed Stock Plunged 27.4% in August
Shares of (NYSE: WOLF) dropped 27.4% in August, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence .
The semiconductor company, in the midst of a large-scale transition to mass-producing silicon carbide (SiC) power devices, fell in the month following a somewhat disappointing earnings report.
In addition, the company isn't profitable, and has had to raise billions of dollars to fund its ambitious buildout of silicon carbide factories.
