In a surprising turn of events, GCT stock crashed on Tuesday despite no apparent negative news, following a significant run-up in 2024. The stock plummeted more than 20% in morning trading, leading to a brief halt in trading due to volatility. GCT stock had seen an impressive 88% surge in 2024 as of Friday’s market close, but the sudden drop on Tuesday caught many investors off guard.
