Today’s regular session was great for chip stocks. The Vance Vectors Semiconductor ETF (SMH) was up nearly 6% on the day powered by earnings beats for the quarter from Texas Instruments (TXN) up 6.5%; Xilinx (XLNX) up 17.5%; and Lam Research (LRCX) up 14.8%. And...

It’s not that shares of Intel (INTC) had such a stellar 2016–the gain for the year was just 5.3%. But the company continues to struggle with declining demand in its core PC market and faces strong resistance from competitors to its efforts to break into...

The same logic that has pushed shares of chipmaker Intel (INTC) down despite record earnings and revenue is pushing up the shares of semiconductor equipment makers Look what happened on January 14, the day after Intel announced its earnings. For the day Intel fell by...

Intel (INTC) will probably report a very good fourth quarter of 2010 on Thursday, January 13, after the market closes. The Wall Street consensus is looking for 50 cents a share. That would be up 22% from the fourth quarter of 2009. I think Intel is likely to make that...

Solid. I’d say Intel’s (INTC) third quarter earnings report, released after the market close yesterday, October 12, is more likely to be greeted with a sigh of relief than a gasp of pleased surprise. Earnings for the third quarter came to 52 cents a share. That’s 2...

Shares of Intel (INTC) have been hammered on news showing that PC sales to consumers have been soft in the current back to school quarter. I think that sell off ignores the company’s strengths in other markets, such as servers, that show no signs of slowing growth,...

Sales of server chips were up 170% in the second quarter of 2010 from the second quarter of 2009, Intel (INTC) announced last night (July 13) when the company reported earnings. When I last updated this stock back in April after the company announced first quarter...

The Great Recession created quite a backlog in the technology sector. The average corporate notebook computer is now four years old, according to Needham & Co., and the average corporate desktop is five years old. That catch-up market is huge. One reason I own...

Blow out quarter. Stunning increase in guidance. A totally justified 4.3% gain in the after-hours market on the day it announced earnings. Now we’ll see if Intel (INTC) can juice the rest of the technology sector. (Look today to see how Microsoft (MSFT) reacts, for...

Intel (INTC) reports first quarter 2010 earnings today, April 13, after the close. The market’s reaction to Intel’s numbers will tell us more about the market than about this technology stock. (For more on the prospects for earnings season as a whole se my post...

Sell on the news, is it? Well, thanks. I thought Intel (INTC) would run away from me after yesterday’s (January 14) great earnings report but apparently traders have decided to take profits on the news ahead of the long Martin Luther Day weekend. And that gives me a...

Chip makers are packing more circuits onto their chips. The next generation will be dense with circuits just 28 billionths of a meter–28 nanometers–wide. That will expand, yet again, the power and speed of semiconductors, and increase yet again the number...

Buy Qualcomm (QCOM).  In the current stock market and economy you want to own stocks in the sectors of the market that are outperforming rather than lagging and you want to own companies that can grow even when the economy isn’t. I think cell phone chip-maker Qualcomm...
