4 Solid Stocks to Buy on Surging Sales of Semiconductors
Tech stocks have been one of the biggest casualties of the recent market bloodbath. However, the semiconductor sector appears to have been unaffected, as increasing demand is driving sales at a fast pace. In fact, soaring demand for semiconductors that caused a supply shortage last year is still ongoing.
Semiconductor sales, which witnessed a massive jump during the peak of the pandemic, are still strong, helping manufacturers rake in massive revenues. Given this situation, stocks like Analog Devices, MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc., Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. and ON Semiconductor Corp. are expected to benefit in the near term.
Semiconductor Sales Jump
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) said on Jun 6 that global semiconductor sales jumped 21.1% year over year in April 2022 to $50.9 billion from $42 billion in April 2021. On a month-over-month basis, sales jumped 0.7% this April from March's $50.6 billion.
Semiconductor sales have now jumped more than 20% on a year-over-year basis for the 13th consecutive month. This reflects not only a steady surge in demand for semiconductors but also the underlying strength in the industry.
The SIA also said in its report that sales grew across all regions. On a year-over-year basis, sales grew 49% in the Americas, 19.2% in Europe and 18.5% in Japan. In China, sales jumped 13.3%, while in the Asia Pacific region sales rose 18.1%.
Semiconductor Industry on Solid Ground
After an impressive 2021, the semiconductor sector has put up a great show this year too. In fact, sales have been on the rise ever since the COVID-19 outbreak. The industry was already thriving and sales further picked up during the peak of the pandemic as millions worked and learned from home. This saw demand for PC, laptops and other networking and communication products soar, which gave a boost to semiconductor sales.
In fact, soaring demand has resulted in a semiconductor shortage globally. The crisis has been going on for over a year now, making several governments pump in millions of dollars to boost semiconductor sales. Also, manufacturers are ramping up production.
However, the crisis is far from over, with the automobile sector suffering the most. The semiconductor shortage has compelled several carmakers to cut down production, which is biting into their profits.
Semiconductor manufacturers, on the other hand, are having a great time amid this global semiconductor crisis. Increased demand has resulted in record semiconductor sales and revenues. According to the SIA, global semiconductor sales increased by 23% year over year to $151.7 billion in the first quarter.
Moreover, demand for microchips will continue to rise as Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality become more prevalent. Semiconductor is essential for the development of these cutting-edge technologies. As a result, demand for semiconductors is projected to continue to climb in the coming years as the need for these services grows.
Our Choices
The semiconductor industry is only likely to benefit in the near term, given the surging demand for semiconductors and the ongoing supply shortage. In the current market, there are four chip stocks that investors might gain from.
Analog Devices is an original equipment manufacturer of semiconductor devices, specifically, analog, mixed-signal and DSP integrated circuits. ADI's product line is composed of amplifiers and comparators; analog to digital converters; digital to analog converters; video encoders and decoders; embedded processing products and DSPs; MEMS and temperature sensors; RF/IF components and converters; power and thermal management ICs, audio/video converters, amplifiers, CODECs, filters and processors.
