The Four Best Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Stocks to Buy Right Now

/in


The semiconductor industry is one of the most critical segments of the technology space, given its ability to facilitate rapid innovation across virtually every other field. It’s fair to say that almost every piece of tech you use in your daily life has semiconductor technology somewhere inside. For example, nearly all computers — desktop, laptop, and mobile — use semiconductors as their primary processing engine. Similarly, many communications devices such as cell phones and wireless routers also rely on semiconductors to send voice signals or data packets from one device to another. Even digital cameras and camcorders use semiconductors for image processing; GPS devices measure distances and speed, while Bluetooth headsets and speakers use them for wireless audio streaming. Even the humble thermometer uses semiconductor sensors to measure body temperature!

Allegro MicroSystems (ALGM)

ALGM is an integrated circuit (IC) manufacturer that makes IC products across various end-user applications and markets. The company has a market cap of approximately $1.6 billion, and its share price has been volatile in recent weeks due to a significant drop in November. Given the recent volatility in the semiconductor sector, this timing made it a compelling choice for inclusion in this list. Specifically, analysts believe that the industry may be experiencing a cyclical slowdown, causing investors to pull their money out of the industry. The company’s main products include data conversion, signal conditioning, and power delivery solutions, primarily for the industrial and medical segments. In addition, ALGM also makes IC products for automotive, computer networking, and telecommunications applications.

Synaptics (SYNA)

Synaptics is a leading provider of human interface solutions, including touch and proximity sensors, capacitive touch-enabled products, and related software. The company’s products are used in various end-user applications, including notebook PCs, desktop PCs, smartphones, tablets, ATMs, and automobile touchscreens. The company has a market cap of approximately $6.5 billion, with its share price dropping significantly in the past several months. This makes it a…

NXP Semiconductors Selects AWS as Its Preferred Cloud Provider to Power Electronic Design Automation in the Cloud

/in


SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company (NASDAQ: AMZN), announced that NXP Semiconductors N.V. has selected AWS as its preferred cloud provider and is migrating the vast majority of its electronic design automation (EDA) workloads from NXP data centers to AWS. Running on the world’s leading cloud extends NXP’s efficiency and competitive edge in the design and verification of advanced semiconductors tailored to the requirements of automotive, industrial Internet of Things (IoT), mobile, and communications infrastructure businesses. The Netherlands-based company uses AWS’s proven global infrastructure and capabilities in high performance computing (HPC), storage, analytics, and machine learning to enhance collaboration and EDA throughput across dozens of its worldwide design centers, as well as to reduce costs with elastic scaling of compute resources and minimize scheduling risks for design projects. In addition, thanks to AWS’s virtually unlimited scale, NXP engineers gain more time to focus on innovation rather than managing compute resources.

Running on AWS, NXP aims to achieve long-term process improvements that transform how semiconductors are designed and tested. Before NXP can manufacture new chips, its designs undergo extensive testing and validation through the EDA process to ensure they are functionally safe, secure, high quality, and highly performant. NXP’s complex EDA workflows include front-end design, performance simulation, and verification, along with backend workloads that include timing and power analysis, design rule checks, and other applications to prepare a chip for production. Historically, semiconductor companies run these highly iterative workflows from on-premises data centers with fixed compute capacity. However, because of the massive compute power involved for each cycle and the increasing complexity of chip designs, producing a new device can take many months or even years unless the companies accurately forecast and install additional compute infrastructure. In contrast, by powering its EDA with AWS, NXP gains the scale and agility to advance multiple projects at the same time on…
