During Wednesday’s trading, computer peripherals shares were among the market’s weakest performers, declining approximately 3% as a group. The sector’s decline was driven primarily by steep selloffs in major players, particularly Xerox Holdings, which fell roughly 12.6%, and Lantronix, trading lower by approximately 3.2% during the session.

The day’s weakness extended beyond computer peripherals into related sectors. Aerospace and defense equities also struggled on Wednesday, with the group declining about 1.7% overall. Within this sector, notable losers included Sidus Space, which traded down roughly 13.9%, and Planet Labs, which fell approximately 8.4% from the previous close.

The dual sector weakness highlighted broader market challenges facing industrial technology and aerospace companies, with computer peripherals particularly hard hit by the day’s selloff activity.
