Semiconductor industry
Article Abstract:
Supply and demand for semiconductor computer chips is more balanced in 1995 and 1996 than in previous years and stock prices for this industry are now receding. The industry is still basically healthy, with orders increasing by 41%, along with a shipment increase of 38%. Predicting a price correction for the semiconductor industry is difficult, however. Investors should find many individual timely stocks, though, for commitment.

Semiconductor industry
Article Abstract:
Semiconductor manufacturers expanded capacity in 1996 after higher share prices and record profits in 1995. However, the expansion has not been controlled and alignment of supply with demand has been difficult. Some chip makers, such as Intel Corp, have good market share, but there is some oversupply. Semiconductor stocks are only average or below for timeliness in 1996, but investors may find individual companies for selection.

Semiconductor industry
Article Abstract:
Semiconductors are at the heart of every personal computer (PC) and a recent slowdown in PC sales is part of the reason for a slowing semiconductor industry. If the PC is the basis for the problem, analysts predict a rebound as surplus inventory is sold. Intel still controls the semiconductor market through superior technology and cost controls.
