Semiconductors Sector Scorecard Q1 2024 Update - Thematic Intelligence
Summary
Companies scoring strongly in artificial intelligence (AI) and geopolitics-related themes lead the thematic screen of GlobalData’s semiconductors sector scorecard. Indeed, the AI, AI chips, geopolitics, and China impact themes jointly account for 50% of the weighting of the thematic screen, reflecting both the growing importance of AI, particularly generative AI, in the industry and the impact of the ongoing US-China trade dispute. Among the thematic leaders are companies with either advanced AI products, such as Nvidia, Amazon, Tesla, and Alibaba, or capital equipment technologies essential to manufacture those advanced AI chips, such as ASML.
The trade dispute between the US and China continues to escalate. Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro smartphone, launched in August 2023, appeared to include a Kirin 9000s chip manufactured by SMIC using a 7-nanometer process node. In response, the US tightened its export rules to include high-end deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography machines. China may be starting to make progress on domestic production of advanced semiconductors, but until confirmed, the leading Chinese vendors, including Alibaba, Huawei, and Baidu, have weaker thematic scores than their US counterparts due to their limited access to AI chips and advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologies.
Scope
This sector scorecard provides a top-down, comprehensive outlook for the key players in the semiconductors sector over the next two years, based on the key themes set to transform their industry landscape.
Reasons to Buy
Companies that invest in the right themes become success stories. Those that miss the important themes in their industry end up as failures.
