Shares of several companies in the broader technology sector, including Paypal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PYPL), Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) and QUALCOMM, Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM), are all trading lower amid overall market weakness as the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to escalate. The conflict has weighed on stocks and pressured economic sentiment in recent trading sessions.
