Trump whacking CHIPS Act? When you hold the checkbook, you make up the new rules

Trump whacking CHIPS Act? When you hold the checkbook, you make up the new rules
by Robert Maire on 02-16-2025 at 10:00 am

Robert Maire Semiconductor Advisors
  • News reports that Trump will change CHIPS Act to suit his views
  • We specifically predicted this months ago as deals closed 11th hour
  • Blue states, enemies list & foreign entities likely to get cut
  • Big changes/cuts likely to a program Trump roundly criticized

AMAT- In line QTR – poor guide as China Chops hit home- China mkt share loss?

AMAT- In line QTR – poor guide as China Chops hit home- China mkt share loss?
by Robert Maire on 02-16-2025 at 6:00 am

Robert Maire Semiconductor Advisors
  • QTR was just “in-line” but guide was below expectations
  • We think its not just China export rules but share loss as well
  • Leading edge is strong but obviously not enough to offset China
  • Memory remains weak-Foundry (TSMC) is the primary driver
Headwinds slow growth to flat

Applied reported $7.166B in revenues and Non … Read More

KLAC Good QTR with AI and HBM drive leading edge and China is Okay

KLAC Good QTR with AI and HBM drive leading edge and China is Okay
by Robert Maire on 02-05-2025 at 6:00 am

Robert Maire Semiconductor Advisors

– KLA put up a good qtr & year with consistent growth
– AI & HBM are the main drivers of leading edge which helps KLA
– China slowing but not too fast, Outlook OK but not super
– Wafer inspection is huge but reticle inspection continues to slip

KLA reports good quarter and OK outlook

KLA reported revenues… Read More

The Intel Common Platform Foundry Alliance

The Intel Common Platform Foundry Alliance
by Daniel Nenni on 12-27-2024 at 6:00 am

Common Platform Alliance

When I do a root cause analysis of Intel’s problem it is very simple. If Intel wants to continue to be a leading-edge semiconductor manufacturer, they need to fill their fabs, all of their fabs. Clearly several things need to happen in order to do that but the one that most interests me is on the foundry side.

I think we can all agree that… Read More
