Chip Stock Investor Podcast

It was a busy week, and big tech certainly delivered the tune Wall Street was hoping to hear. Growth is back, and with it, massive increases to profitability. Amazon and Meta were showing off in grand style, and Meta announced its first-ever dividend. Meanwhile, Qualcomm’s revenue recovery is still taking hold, but earnings are ratcheting higher anyways. The automotive segment in particular bucked the industry trend as automakers can’t seem to get enough of Qualcomm’s chips powering new vehicle technology trends. Chip Stock Investors Nick and Kasey discuss these three companies in todays episode, and why they remain optimistic on their growth prospects in 2024.

In this episode of Chip Stock Investor, Nick and Kasey discuss the much anticipated Q4 2023 earnings for AMD. AMD has been talking plenty about its foray into AI, competing in the same ring as Nvidia. But as we have said before, it's hard to play catch up to the leader. That doesn’t necessarily make us bearish on AMD, however. On the contrary, the focus conveyed in the most recent earnings call and the financial numbers indicate that AMD has a solid growth strategy in the years ahead. Our analysis covers key areas like AMD's merger with Xilinx, the potential for profit margin expansion, and the high-growth AI market and the continued competition with NVIDIA and Intel. But Chip Stock Investor’s primary focus is on AMD's profit margins in 2024, and trends in the PC and laptop sales segment. We conclude with our view on AMD's stock valuation. Stay tuned and make sure you are subbed to receive updates on Amazon, Qualcomm, and Microchip in the coming vids!

The lithium market has been in total disarray, and spot prices for the key ingredient in EV batteries have continued to fall in 2024. Top stocks like Albemarle and Arcadium Lithium (formerly Livent and Allkem) have been dragged down along with those market prices. To that end, Albemarle recently provided some general updates indicating actions it has taken to protect its long-term viability. Chip Stock Investor expects similar for Arcadium as well when they report earnings later in February. Nick and Kasey provide a couple key details to keep in mind for these lithium companies, and whether this is the end of the road for them.

For Intel, the company is still very much in “prove-it” mode, and it’s going to take years for the overhaul to take hold. In the meantime, some steady progress was made.But over in semiconductor manufacturing equipment land, Intel’s overhaul is benefiting companies like Lam Research and KLA. Chip Stock Investors Nick and Kasey discuss why they like these businesses the most for betting on an Intel recovery, and which of the “Fab 5” stocks they like most right now. Stay tuned later this week for more updates, including on the lithium market.

ASML stock has been off to the races again, and is homing back in on all-time highs last reached in 2021. It’s been an endurance race for shareholders, but the critical semiconductor manufacturing equipment provider is putting up great growth numbers and setting new financial records. And yet, 2024 looks like it could be a dud, a “transition year” as ASML and its customers – including Intel (INTC), Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM), Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron (MU) – get ready for the next bull market that is only just now getting started. Is it too late to buy ASML stock after the recent rally? How expensive is the stock really? Or are investors better off buying now and waiting out the next five to seven years? Chip Stock Investors Nick and Kasey discuss these topics and more about this top chip manufacturing stock.

In this episode, Chip Stock Investor focuses on the divergence between parts of the semiconductor industry, some experiencing a surge in new growth and others still in decline. Nick Rossolillo reviews Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM), which seems to be indicating that the chip downturn is in the rearview mirror for PCs, laptops, and smartphones. However, he also discusses Texas Instruments (TXN), who just released earnings with not as rosy of a report. What do these earnings mean for the semiconductor industry, and what can investors look forward to in 2024? Nick also discusses Chip Stock Investor's take on Marvell Technology (MRVL), which has gotten caught up in renewed AI buzz in recent weeks. Has anything changed for the stock? Later this week, stay tuned for updates on top chip manufacturing equipment companies ASML and Lam Research (LRCX)!

According to companies like Micron (MU), the memory chip market is starting to make an epic comeback, one that could lead to new peak industry sales sometime in 2025. But at Chip Stock Investor, Micron and the other top memory chipmakers aren’t our favorite stocks right now. Instead, we’re looking at Lam Research (LRCX), a top semiconductor wafer fab equipment and service provider. Nick and Kasey discuss the powerful business model, some new tech trends like chiplets and backside power delivery that could help Lam increase its addressable market, and the stock’s current valuation. Stay tuned next week for more updates after Lam and other chip companies begin reporting earnings!

It’s official! Top semiconductor design software company Synopsys (SNPS) has announced its intent to acquire Ansys (ANSS), instantly making this one of the largest technology merger and acquisition deals ever. The rationale for the tie-up? Bringing AI and advanced software-powered applications to the world. In this episode of Chip Stock Investor, Nick and Kasey discuss details of the deal, why Synopsys and Ansys together makes sense, but particular risks investors need to be aware of in the coming years. They also compare Synopsys with their other semiconductor design software investment Cadence Design Systems (CDNS), and how they’re handling these two stocks right now.

Join Chip Stock Investor host Nick as he welcomes Derek Hanson, Vice President of Solutions Architecture and Standards at cybersecurity company Yubico. In this episode, Nick asks Derek talk about the role that hardware plays in the world of cybersecurity. They also discuss the global impact of cybercrime, estimated to cost the world economy around $10 trillion annually -- and rising! Derek explains the critical role that secure credentials play in protecting against data breaches, how Yubico's YubiKey operates as a safeguard for phishing-resistant authentication (and what phishing is in the first place), and how new cybersecurity for front-line workers is like a digital passport that protects online identity. Nick and Derek explore the differences between hardware and software in cyber security, and stress the importance of adapting to evolving threats with robust solutions like passwordless authentication.

In this episode of Chip Stock Investor, we delve into a discussion of some semiconductor players that we get asked about the most, including Arm Holding (ARM), Super Micro Computer (SMCI), Axcelis Technologies (ACLS), and ACM Research (ACMR). The discussion revolves around their recent stock price performances, future outlook, company profiles and business structures, and how they fit into the larger semiconductor industry. Particularly, we talk about Arm Holding's valuation, their projected growth, and investment into AI server design startup Ampere Computing. Then, we touch on the expected performances of Axcelis and ACM Research before their earnings reports, especially after some disappointing guidance from the automotive industry and key suppliers to it. And finally, we discuss Super Micro Computer's role in the industry, why we aren’t investing (but why that doesn’t mean we dislike the company), and thoughts on Hewlett Packard Enterprise's (HPE) acquisition of Juniper Networks (JNPR) that could possibly benefit SMCI in 2024.
