Stay away from battered semiconductor stocks for the time being, according to Citi analyst Chris Danely. “We believe negative catalysts will now outnumber positive catalysts given upcoming PC data points and monthly Taiwan sales figures,” Danely wrote in a fresh note to clients. “We also expect negative data points in September in broader semis as the correction continues.” The analyst removed his short-term bullish calls on chip makers NXP Semiconductor and ON Semiconductor. His top pick… Source link

The world’s third-largest maker of semiconductor wafers, Taiwan’s GlobalWafers, announced plans to build a $5 billion factory in the U.S. on Monday—but only if the government helps pay for it. “This investment that they’re making is contingent upon Congress passing the CHIPS Act. The [GlobalWafers] CEO told me that herself, and they reiterated that today,” U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo told CNBC, the same day GlobalWafers announced its development plan.

After months of debate, Congress is still slow-walking a bill that would spend over $50 billion on semiconductor manufacturing. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo has been frustrated by the slow pace for months and upped the stakes in a new interview by saying the economic damage could soon become permanent. She says companies that may want to be in the U.S. could shift manufacturing overseas in “months [because] they have to make decisions.” During the conversation Wednesday with Yahoo… Source link

Earlier this week, Google confirmed what we’ve suspected for a long time: the Google Pixel Watch is coming later this fall.

Some of that was to be expected, and of course, the next few months will be full of speculation about what the final form of the Pixel Watch will be. But one thing Google has to get right is the chip inside. It’s clear, from the Pixel Watch’s design to the… Source link

Land Rover revealed the newest addition to its lineup, an all-new Range Rover Sport. It’s a cult favorite among the brand’s fans, with the mid-size SUV known more for its street prowess than its performance off pavement.
