☆ The manufacturer of Nvidia, AMD chips soothes concerns that rocked the industry Tuesday
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-17 | by ( Kevin Stankiewicz | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

To be sure, a Bloomberg report earlier Tuesday that the U.S. government was considering a cap on AI chip exports to certain Persian Gulf nations may also have dampened industry sentiment. Investors are sensitive to any updates on AI chip demand, given the dramatic rise in the stocks of Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom and others over the past two years. Bottom line Artificial intelligence is alive and well, according to TSMC, which has emerged as the most valuable window into AI demand other than Nvidia itself. With Big Tech earnings in the coming weeks, it's particularly nice to see the AI chip trade stabilize after the ASML debacle. Jim said Thursday that AMD, which has way underperformed Nvidia, Broadcom and the broader market, is "still a bargain."

US efforts to produce semiconductor chips will continue regardless of who wins the election. AdvertisementNo matter who wins the presidential election this November, President Joe Biden can rest easy knowing one thing: The US's chip manufacturing push isn't going anywhere. The US has seen its share of overall chip production fall from 37% of the world's supply in 1990 to 12%. While many factories remain under construction, the federal funding has already helped boost US chip production. According to a report published last year by the trade and lobbying group Semiconductor Industry Association and Oxford Economics, the US semiconductor industry will face a shortage of 67,000 workers by 2030, including technicians, computer scientists, and engineers.

☆ Charts suggest bull market can continue if tech sector performs, Cramer says
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-16 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday said charts indicate that the bull market can roar higher if the tech sector continues to perform, especially the stock of Nvidia , a leader on the indexes. "The charts, as interpreted by Jessica Inskip, are looking pretty darn good for the S&P and the Nasdaq-100, and of course, yes, Nvidia," he said. "We've got a much broader bull market than we had six months ago, but if it's going to keep running, Inskip says we need to see some meaningful participation from tech." While tech may not have to "lead the way anymore," it still has to "at least follow the leaders," Cramer said. To explain analysis from Inskip, Cramer examined charts of both Nvidia's and the Nasdaq 100 's weekly performance since last fall.

In 2022, President Joe Biden signed the CHIPS Act into law, which included $39 billion in manufacturing incentives for chip production in the US. Last year, TSMC announced that the official opening of its first Arizona fab would be pushed back from 2024 to 2025.

☆ Cramer says the semiconductor sell-off shows AI chips are undervalued by investors
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-16 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer critiqued Tuesday's massive semiconductor sell-off, saying some on Wall Street don't recognize the lasting importance of advanced graphics chips for artificial intelligence, especially ones from Nvidia . Semiconductor companies saw their stocks plummet on Tuesday after ASML posted a disappointing quarter a day earlier than expected. Cramer pointed out that the one bright spot in ASML's poor report was its sales of chips related to AI. And according to Cramer, AI is a large part of the reason companies continue to invest heavily in nuclear power. "In fact, it's only gonna increase, especially when tech companies and utilities are furiously trying to put up nuclear power plants to meet the energy demands of Nvidia's chips."

ASML on Tuesday offered the first glimpse into how U.S. restrictions on exports of its advanced chip manufacturing tools to China will impact its sales in the Asian country. The Netherlands-based chip equipment maker said in its earnings report Tuesday, which was released a day early due to a "technical error," that it expects net sales for 2025 to come in between 30 billion euros and 35 billion euros ($32.7 billion and $38.1 billion). ASML is a critical part of the global chip supply chain. While third-quarter net sales at the firm reached 7.5 billion euros — beating expectations — net bookings came in at 2.6 billion euros ($2.83 billion), the company said.
