Chip Stock Investor Podcast

Chip Stock Investors Nick and Kasey circle back to one of their top holdings, and their largest healthcare technology stock holding, Intuitive Surgical. The company has posted surprisingly good earnings so far in 2023, and could have many years of growth still ahead of it and is develops new procedures for its flagship "da Vinci" robots and continues to expand its new Ion robot. Intuitive Surgical has all the makings for a quality investment for a long time: A giant market, high technological barriers against disruptors, and regulatory hurdles that would-be competitors won't quickly clear. Additionally, as a new era of AI begins, Intuitive is working hard to make healthcare a more data-driven industry. Could this be a set-it-and-forget-it holding for decades? Besides doing a dive into some lesser-known aspects of Intuitive Surgical's business, Kasey shares her insights from working in the field of surgery, and Nick tells how, in an alternate timeline, this company could have been a much larger percentage of his portfolio today. ☕☕☕If you feel so inclined please show your support here by fueling our caffeine addiction 👇 https://ko-fi.com/chipstockinvestor Content in this video is for general information or entertainment only and is not specific or individual investment advice.

Intel released news that it's planning on restructuring its business by reporting its chip design and manufacturing businesses as separate entities. This may be a humble admission that things have not gone exactly as planned in the IDM (integrated device manufacturing) business as the semiconductor industry has rapidly shifted out from under the feet of Intel over the last decade. Does this mean that we are now interested in investing in Intel? Our Chip Stock Investor, Nick Rossolillo, explains what exactly Intel is doing, what it needs to do before we invest in its stock, and 4 chip manufacturing stocks that we prefer over Intel at this moment. ☕If you feel so inclined please show your support here by fueling our caffeine addiction 👇 https://ko-fi.com/chipstockinvestor Content in this video is for general information or entertainment only and is not specific or individual investment advice.

We have been getting a lot of requests for coverage of small-cap chip stocks. While we truly believe "small" does not automatically equal exponential growth and market outperformance, there are a few companies that interest us for their long term potential, especially in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. In the recent months, we added KLA Corp and Onto Innovation stock to our portfolio. KLA is the dominant player in metrology and process control, but Onto Innovation, Nova LTD, & Camtek are all smaller players that provide similar chip manufacturing equipment. Are these small cap companies worth an investment?
