4 Must-Buy Semiconductor Stocks as Sales See Solid Rebound.
The semiconductor industry is staging a solid rebound on growing demand and the optimism surrounding artificial intelligence (AI), especially generative AI. Inflationary pressures were one of the primary reasons behind slowing demand in the early part of 2024.
However, pressures have eased with inflation showing signs of cooling. The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) said on Jul 5 that global semiconductor sales totaled $49.1 billion in May, increasing 19.3% year over year. Sequentially, sales jumped 4.1% from April’s total of $47.2 billion.
John Neuffer, SIA president and CEO, said, “The global semiconductor market has grown on a year-to-year basis during each month of 2024, and year-to-year sales in May increased by the largest percentage since April 2022.”
Neuffer added, “The Americas market experienced particularly strong growth, with a year-to-year sales increase of 43.6%.”
Inflation has finally started showing signs of a decline. Easing price pressures have led to a rebound in demand.
Also, the ongoing enthusiasm surrounding AI has been helping companies that manufacture AI chipsets.
NVIDIA Corporation $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ has been at the heart of this revolution, with the company’s shares gaining 154.1% year to date and 196.7% in the past year.
