President Donald Trump has initially excluded semiconductors from his latest round of U.S. tariffs. However, he could put tariffs on semiconductors in the future. If tariffs are placed on semiconductors imported to the U.S., how would that affect U.S.-based semiconductor companies? The chart below shows U.S. semiconductor… Read More
With all the Q2-24 results delivered, it is time to remove the clouds of euphoria and panic, ignore the performance claims and the bugs, and analyse the Data Center business, including examining the supply chain up and downstream. It is time to find out if the AI boom in semiconductors is still alive.
We begin the analysis with the … Read More
