Analog and power semiconductor stocks such as ON Semiconductor, Texas Instruments and NXP are pricing far ahead of their fundamentals. Even with price hikes they are not back to 2022 revenue, yet their share prices have risen multifold. The semiconductor supercycle is lifting even these laggards. x.com x.comÂ
Some semiconductor stocks have returned to reasonable valuations as fundamentals improve, making recent declines buying opportunities. Many had traded at two to three times their median valuations; the correction brought some back toward normal, while sustained AI spending should benefit suppliers for years. x.comÂ
Semiconductors look relatively cheap against the S&P 500, while their earnings are growing much faster, barring an EPS reset. The selloff looks overdone, though that does not mean it reverses tomorrow. x.comÂ
Growth and recovery prospects make these ten stocks look inexpensive below 20x forward earnings. SK hynix, Micron and Sandisk benefit from memory and storage demand; Vistra from electricity demand; Oracle and Nvidia from AI infrastructure; Nu from banking growth and Uber from cash generation. Novo Nordisk's improving execution could make 12x attractive despite pricing pressure. Onsemi's recovery could run further as AI power efficiency matters more. x.com x.com x.com x.com x.com x.com x.com … Show more
Lam Research's record results suggest the equipment cycle is not ending despite its stock selloff. Revenue reached $8.22B, up 54% year over year and over 20% sequentially, while EPS rose 75%; ASML and TSMC also report customers needing more tools. Overweight with a $355 target and 35% upside, but the selloff is a gift only if Lam guides December higher. x.com x.comÂ
Infineon, STMicroelectronics and NXP have little value upside left from humanoid robotics after rallying hard on the AI datacenter theme. Infineon's CEO said humanoids could eventually rival AI datacenters as a revenue opportunity, about 20% of sales, yet Infineon saw insider sales this week. Humanoids may create few real bottlenecks: about 60% of parts come from the existing auto supply chain, most value will likely accrue in China and OEMs will integrate vertically, leaving heavy competition. … Show more
Analog semiconductor stocks such as STMicroelectronics, Tower Semiconductor, Analog Devices and Texas Instruments are set to rise further because they are starting to have pricing power for the first time in a long time. x.comÂ
The semiconductor sector's bloat makes selectivity important. Nvidia, TSMC and ASML are among the best businesses still worth owning, but not every name will recover from this month's selloff. Chasing unprofitable, highly leveraged small caps should be a lesson from the selloff. x.comÂ
Semiconductor stocks have not priced in a record wave of AI chip demand. Taiwan chip exports jumped over 20% in a single month and demand is 30% above three months earlier, the biggest in history, while Korea is also seeing record semiconductor demand, up 30% on mid-2026. A step change in demand comes while semis are still cheaper than before the AI boom. x.com x.com x.com x.comÂ
Semiconductor and memory stocks still look cheap despite the panic on forward earnings and growth-adjusted valuations. SK hynix trades at 4.4x forward earnings with a 0.04 PEG, Micron at 4.6x and 0.11, Sandisk at 5.5x and 0.10, and Nvidia at 14.2x and 0.22; the table extends across chipmakers and suppliers. Some of these figures may reflect peak earnings. x.com x.comÂ
ON Semiconductor has been bid up unrealistically, something that happens only in the strongest chip markets. It traded in the $30s a year ago and deserves about $60-80. x.comÂ
