4 Electronics Stocks to Buy Right Now on Coronavirus Woes
The electronics industry has been gaining on account of the coronavirus pandemic-led work-from-home and learn-from-home trends.
The trends are leading to the growing proliferation of laptops, notebooks, office equipment, and network peripherals, which have turned out to be boons for electronics companies.
Moreover, the rapid adoption of cloud computing technology and the rising need for data centers to ensure an efficient remote working environment are benefiting electronics companies offering supply chain solutions.
Apart from remote working and learning, the increasing use of medical devices such as electronic monitoring devices, infrared laser thermometer and thermal imaging cameras due to the rising risk of the COVID-19 infection throughout the world has spurred the demand for electrical equipment.
Additionally, the growing requirement of advanced packaging in the miniaturization of electronic products, which is gaining strong traction in the semiconductor industry, remains a major positive.
Furthermore, the solid adoption of AI and industrial revolution 4.0, which focuses on interconnectivity, automation, Machine Learning (ML) and real-time data, is a tailwind.
Also,the growing proliferation of fitness trackers and smartwatches, high-end smartphones, smart speakers, andsmart cars and autonomous vehicles is fuelling the demand for electronic components.
Additionally, the growing popularity, and use of collaborative robots and drones by various industries are benefiting the electronics industry.
Further, the increasing deployment of 5G holds near-term promises for participants of the underlined industry. An uptick in the demand for 5G test solutions, which are required for 5G deployment, is a major positive. Moreover, the current coronavirus outbreak-triggered work-from-home wave globally, which is bolstering demand for high-speed Internet services, bodes well for electronic companies that are enhancing their 5G efforts.
