The U.S. stock market has retreated from the record highs it set earlier, as tech stocks slide. Among individual equities on the move are electronics manufacturing specialist Cemtrex Inc (NASDAQ:CETX), fabric dyeing firm Sharing Economy International Inc (NASDAQ:SEII), and semiconductor stock Sigma Designs Inc (NASDAQ:SIGM). Here's a quick look at how shares of CETX, SEII, and SIGM are trading today.

While CETX has since pared its lead to 7.2% to trade at $3.02 -- with the earlier rally stalling at familiar resistance from the equity's 200-day moving average -- it's still on track for its highest close since late September.

In reaction, SEII plunged 6.2% in early trading, but was last seen down 1.8% at $4.95. The shares are now on pace for a sixth straight loss -- its longest losing streak since May -- and have brought their year-to-date deficit to 34.4%.
Despite this steady selling, SEII shares have not yet reached oversold territory -- though they're quickly approaching. At last check, the stock's 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) was docked at 32.6.
Sigma Designs stock was down more than 17% earlier, after the company said it was only selling its Z-Wave technology business to Silicon Laboratories (SLAB) -- versus the latter's outright takeover of the former. More recently, SIGM shares were trading off 15% at $5.95.
