Sanmina Corp's stock price fell by 7.89% as it crossed below the 20-day SMA, indicating a bearish trend. Despite the overall market strength, with the Nasdaq-100 up 0.23% and the S&P 500 up 0.12%, Sanmina's decline suggests sector rotation away from its stock. Investors may be reallocating their portfolios towards stronger performers in the tech sector, as seen with notable gains in companies like Evolution Metals and Keysight Technologies.
