Episode 74: Qualcomm: 5G Phase 2, and 1 Of Our Top Semiconductor Stocks Of 2024
Qualcomm (QCOM) is one of our top semiconductor stock picks for 2024. It was a top pick in 2023 as well, and in spite of a total return of over 30%, it actually underperformed chip stocks last year!
At any rate, Chip Stock Investors Nick and Kasey think Qualcomm could have another good year in 2024 as the smartphone market recovery takes hold. They talk about 5G networks, the broader outlook for Qualcomm chip demand, new PC chips that include on-device AI, and why profit margins could soar for Qualcomm.
Also available is accompanying research notes for this Qualcomm deep dive over on our Ko-Fi channel! 👉👉👉https://ko-fi.com/s/442fe67903

Episode 73: Stocks We Sold In 2023, and Stocks We Still Hold For 2024
At Chip Stock Investor, we favor small portfolio changes and gradual moves into and out of stocks. But we did sell some positions in 2023. In this video, Nick and Kasey discuss what they sold – and what stocks were on the chopping block at one point, but they still hold for 2024.
With each stock, they extract an investing lesson learned (or relearned) after investing through the bear market of the last two years.
Next up later this week, we’ll cover why we still like Qualcomm (QCOM) and Arcadium Lithium (ALTM, formerly Livent and Allkem)!

Episode 70:3 Small Cap Chip Stocks (AEHR, INDI, ACMR): Are They A Buy For 2024?
In this video, Chip Stock Investor reviews three popular small cap chip stocks, Aehr Test Systems (AEHR), indie Semiconductor (INDI), and ACM Research (ACMR). Nick and Kasey begin with Aehr Test Systems, where they correct previous statements about Tesla’s requirements for its silicon carbide chips.
Moving on to indie Semiconductor, they discuss the company's aggressive expansion, share dilution, complex shareholder structure, and lack of profitability (at least presently) -- serious business model concerns the market seems to be giving a pass on.
Finally, ACM Research's reliance on China for revenue, as well as some complications related to its business structure, and profits that may not be as good as they seem. Nevertheless, ACM Research has been making a solid go of things thus far, at least keeping Chip Stock Investor’s interest in occasional coverage for now. Perhaps that will change in 2024.
Later this week, stay tuned for Chip Stock Investor’s favorite semiconductor stocks to kick off 2024!

Episode 69: Cybersecurity Stock Investor: Broadcom + VMware Shake-Up of Top Cybersecurity Stocks In 2024?
Broadcom is coming fresh off yet another record year of sales and profitability, and now it owns VMware! But that’s old news. Now the market is eyeing what Broadcom will actually do with VMware.
CEO Hock Tan has said that the cybersecurity unit of VMware, Carbon Black, will be sold off. That could mean a boost for cybersecurity peers like CrowdStrike in 2024.
Chip Stock Investors Nick and Kasey review where the fast-growing security software market is at right now, who might benefit the most from Broadcom’s shake-up, as well as a refresher on why top pure-plays in the industry Palo Alto Networks (PANW) and Fortinet (FTNT) are slowing. They also reveal their top cybersecurity stock they like for the start of 2024, and why.

Episode 68: Micron Confirms the PC and Smartphone Market Growth Is Back, 1 Memory Chip Stock We Like More (SIMO)
Micron Technology (MU) provided an update to its current quarter’s financial guidance, indicating that growth in the PC and smartphone market is making a comeback after over a year of a terrible downturn. Micron’s expected rise in sales could bode well for this large part of the chip industry.
However, Micron is still operating deep in the red, and the stock price rally this year is pricing in much of the 2024 expected recovery. Chip Stock Investor discusses one memory chip stock they like even better than Micron right now: Silicon Motion Technology (SIMO), a leader in flash memory controllers that recently had a falling out with its merger with MaxLinear (MXL).
In this video, Nick and Kasey discuss investing in SiliconMotion, risks they expect could undermine the company’s future returns, but why they like it better than Micron stock right now. See below for more on our coverage of Micron, SiliconMotion, and what happened to its terminated merger with MaxLinear.
