Semiconductor Stocks Fall as Reports From Advanced Micro Devices and Applied Materials Signal Softening Demand
The Paragon Report Provides Stock Research on SanDisk and Texas Instruments
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 07/12/12 -- It has been a tough week for semiconductor companies as recent reports from both Advanced Micro Devices and Applied Materials signaled a bearish outlook citing slowing demand in China and Europe. "As we approach June quarter earnings season, we believe semiconductor demand has softened almost across the board," wrote Christopher Danely, J.P. Morgan analyst, in a note to clients. The Paragon Report examines investing opportunities in the Semiconductor Industry and provides equity research on SanDisk Corp. (NASDAQ: SNDK) and Texas Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ: TXN).

"It's all macro -- just like last year, and the year before, and the year before," Danely added. "We believe the macroeconomic environment will be the biggest driver of semiconductor stock performance during 2012, just as it was in 2011, and 2010 and 2009."
The European financial crisis combined with a weakening personal computer market has had a significant impact on semiconductor demand. Investors should receive a clearer picture of the state of the industry when semiconductor giant Intel Corp. kicks off the tech earnings season on July 17.
