Thematic (Sector/Industry)

The latest WSTS semiconductor forecast provides a glittering outlook, but the organization's history, and the long-term trend of the industry, cast important doubt on the WSTS outlook.  Most of the positive sentiment appears to stem from the strong current market for memory chips.

The SIA announced WSTS monthly semiconductor sales statistics for October 2020.   Sales were 6% higher than October 2019 and 3.1% higher than the prior month.  While this looks like the beginning of a growth phase, it seems more likely that sales will drop back to trend in the near future.

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/micron-technology-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:13382:1" rel="noopener">Micron</a> presented their technology roadmap together with a strategy update earlier this week. The event was a tour de force, highlighting technology leadership examples and consistently improving cost competitiveness. It also included deeper dives into recent and future technology decisions such as their NAND Replacement Gate and when it makes sense to deploy EUV lithography in the manufacturing of DRAM. Here's a look in detail at what they had to say.

Micron. Key Takeaways From This Week's Technology Roadmap & Strategy Update.

Micron has just upgraded its outlook for the current quarter from non-GAAP revenues of $5.0-$5.4 billion to revenues of $5.7-$5.75 billion.  This increase has been due to unanticipated end-demand strength that should benefit all DRAM and NAND flash makers.
