Semiconductor industry
Article Abstract:
The semiconductor industry reports good sales and earnings in the 1st qtr of 1995, due to increased uses for chips and high orders. Texas Instruments reports earnings of 35% to 40% and Advanced Micro Devices reports 12%. These stocks have an excellent opportunity to outperform the market for 1995 and 1996 because of product demand. However, many are speculative and not suited for investment over a three to five year period.

Article Abstract:
Semiconductor stock prices lost ground after outperforming the market for three years. An issue is whether earnings can be sustained beyond 1996, due to the volatile and cyclical nature of the industry. Orders increased 50% in 1995 over 1994, and are 17% greater than shipments. However, current prospects may lead to overexpansion. These stocks are timely due to high earnings, but are expected to peak.
