The 'quantum computer', expected to expand in the future as the next-generation ultra-high-performance Computer!
USA $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$が19日、 $Alphabet-A (GOOGL.US)$のグーグルが24年12月に、量子半導体を相次ぎ発表した。マイクロソフトは「数十年先でなく数年以内に量子コンピュータで重要な産業規模の問題を解決できるようになる」と予想しており、開発競争は加速するとみられる。
In Japan, collaboration between industry, academia, and government is advancing development. $Fujitsu (6702.JP)$Products are scheduled to start operation in early 2025.Domestic companies also have opportunities.However, the terms 'Quantum Technology' and 'Quantum Computer' encompass a variety of fields and types, making it not easy to select stocks.

US semiconductors have received financial results and are showing a turbulent appearance. At the beginning of financial results announcements, major adjustments were made due to downward guidance from TSMC and ASML, but there was a sudden rebound in mid-April. At the end of April, AMD's financial results were received, and it fell again.What does the current turbulence mean for semiconductor stocks, which have continued to appreciate due to the AI boom. I would like to consider it based on financial results and the market environment.
Financial results of major semiconductor stocks and stock price reactions immediately after settlement
Of the SOX Index (Philadelphia Semiconductor Stock Price Index) constituent stocks, about 70% of companies have finished announcing financial results as of 5/2. Of these, when we checked the adjusted EPS (profit per capita) of the main stocks with a total market value of over 100 billion dollars, both exceeded market expectations.
$Micron Technology (MU.US)$The financial results period is February, and the financial results are announced in March, so to be precise, they are not applicable to the current financial results season, which began in April, but since the financial results announced at the end of March also include results for January-February this year, I decided to post them together. Micron Technology announced results that significantly exceeded market expectations...

TSMC and ASML dropped after earnings, SOX index also heading lower
Two companies that hold important positions in the global semiconductor industryhave recently announced their earnings. One is the world's only company manufacturing cutting-edge lithography equipment, $ASML Holding (ASML.US)$and the other is the world's largest in semiconductor foundry services (foundry). $Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM.US)$Yes.The earnings reports of both companies have been met with disapproval, affecting not only their stock prices but also the SOX index(Philadelphia Semiconductor Index ETF) as well.DeclineHowever, movements of profit-taking sales were encouraged by risk-averse movements due to the sharp rise in the yield of the US 10-year bonds.It is believed to have resulted in.
This time,What exactly triggered the aversion in the earnings of both companiesI would like to examine the earnings reports of both companies along with the details. Additionally, both companiesI also confirmed the outlook for the overall semiconductor market and the demand for AI semiconductors presented at the earnings call.I decided to give it a try.
