LONDON, April 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Despite the rally in the broad market, the technology sector met with some challenges on Thursday as a sharp decline in shares of some major technology companies dragged down the sector as a whole. The sector was pushed lower after a report from research firm IDC showed that worldwide shipments of PCs tumbled 13.9% in the first quarter. The data highlights the weakening demand for PCs as more and more users shift to smartphones and tablets. Among the major movers in the technology sector on Thursday included Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd. (NYSE: YGE), Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc. (NYSE: FCS), ServiceNow Inc. (NYSE: NOW), 8x8 Inc. (NASDAQ: EGHT), and Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ: BRKR). StockCall has released free charting and technical research on these aforementioned companies.
