Episode 29: 3 Semiconductor Stocks to Sell Now? Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, and Skyworks Solutions

Texas Instruments has been an investor favorite for its decades of growth, high dividends, and share buybacks. Will that continue to be relevant with the capital expenditures going from less than $1 billion-a-year just a few years ago to an average of $5 billion over the next few years? Qualcomm has taken a beating in recent quarters with the smartphone market slumping. The company is diversifying, but will it accomplish that soon enough to remain in the portfolio for the long haul? Skyworks Solutions looked primed for growth in the late 2010s when we first added it to our portfolio. This company is tied at the hip, however, with the behemoth Apple, and shows little signs of that changing. Chip Stock Investor reviews these three companies and discusses whether it's time for investors to give them the ax.

Episode 26: A New โ€œChip Warโ€ Is Emerging For Energy Independence -- Onsemi, Monolithic Power, and Albemarle

A new โ€œchip warโ€ is emerging, and energy independence is at the heart of it. The world is facing an energy crisis, and the demand is skyrocketing for semiconductors that more efficiently manage the flow of electricity. This has created a new battleground for chipmakers, as they compete to supply the chips that will power the next generation of energy technologies -- from electric vehicles (EVs) to AI data centers to new energy grid systems. In this video, we'll take a look at three companies that are at the forefront of this new โ€œchip warโ€: Onsemi, Monolithic Power Systems, and Albemarle. Onsemi (ON) is a leading semiconductor manufacturer that specializes in power management, and has a high-growth silicon carbide (SiC) manufacturing unit. Monolithic Power Systems is a high-performance power management company that designs integrated circuits for power conversion. Albemarle is a leading producer of lithium, not a semiconductor, but a key component in batteries for electric vehicles, energy grid storage, and more top chip applications. We'll discuss how these companies are developing chips and related technology that will help to make energy usage more efficient, affordable, and sustainable. We'll also explore the risks and opportunities that these companies face as they compete in this new and rapidly growing market. If you're interested in learning more about the future of energy and the role that semiconductors will play, then be sure to watch this video and subscribe to Chip Stock Investor!

Episode 25: AMD, Lattice, and Arista Networks โ€“ 3 Top AI Buy-and-Hold Stocks For the Next Decade?

Earnings season continues, and AI continues to be a hot topic! Equally hot stock AMD reported earnings, and it looks like the company's work in AI is not going to narrow the gap with Nvidia like many shareholders had hoped. This shouldn't have come as a surprise. Nick and Kasey explain why, but why AMD is still in great shape anyways. Meanwhile, small chip designer Lattice Semiconductor continues its sequential sales growth and profit margin expansion streak. The little business competes against heavyweight AMD (specifically, AMD's Xilinx acquisition) as well as Intel in the FPGA chip department. Kasey talks about what she likes most about this small growth stock. And Nick breaks down another stellar quarter from Arista Networks, headed up by underrated and :underfollowed CEO Jayshree Ullal. Arista is only just beginning to report ramp-up in design and infrastructure upgrades from generative AI, as well as work it's contributing to the new Ultra Ethernet Consortium (of which AMD is also a founding member). Pay close attention to Arista Networks. All of this and more as Chip Stock Investor discusses three of its top tech and semiconductor stocks for the next decade.

Episode 23: 5 Chip Stocks For Second Half 2023: AI and EV Hype Turning Into Real Financial Results

KLA Corporation and Lam Research are two of the top 5 companies in the semiconductor manufacturing equipment industry. Their recent financial updates didn't exactly set the world ablaze, but may have indicated that the semiconductor industry is ready to make a turnaround. What are we doing with this information here at Chip Stock Investor? Intel's disaster has been a saga for at least a year, and you may know we have not been interested in investing up to this point. But, their recent quarter results finally showed some signs of life and a possible turnaround. This might start to materially change things at Intel, and set up a more solid thesis for making an investment. STMicroelectronics is benefitting from the booming EV industry, and although NXP Semiconductors is more popular among some investors, STM had a really solid quarter and some potential for major growth in the EV market -- especially in silicon carbide. Finally, we will take a look at Enphase, a company we recently added to our portfolio. This company's earnings report showed signs of serious slowdown in the solar energy market, which to a certain extent was expected. But what are the long term prospects for ENPH, and are we buying the dip? Find all this and more in this episode of Chip Stock Investor. โ˜•โ˜•โ˜•If you feel so inclined please show your support here by fueling our caffeine addiction ๐Ÿ‘‡ https://ko-fi.com/chipstockinvestor Content in this video is for general information or entertainment only and is not specific or individual investment advice.
