Memory And Mining Chips Send Samsung Soaring
https://www.pymnts.com/earnings/2018/samsung-q4-earnings-2017-revenue-smartphones-memory/

The PHLX Semiconductor Indexwas up 0.82% yesterday.

AMD (Advanced Micro Devices Inc.) shares rallied Wednesday after the chip maker showed strong growth in its computer and graphics business with a significant amount of that estimated to come from cryptocurrency-mining-related sales.

Shares of Broadcom Ltd. AVGO, -0.52% soared 6.2% in premarket trading Wednesday after the company delivered an earnings outlook that came in above expectations. The chip maker said in a release that it expected to report adjusted earnings per share of $5.10, up 40% from a year earlier, for its fiscal first quarter, which ends Feb. 4. Analysts surveyed by FactSet had been predicting adjusted earnings of $4.95 a share.

Samsung posted its Q4 report, showing $61.8 billion earnings and an operating profit of $11.49 billion. That's a 24% and 73% respective increase over last year's Q4.

The positive results are spearheaded by profitable display and semiconductor businesses as well as growing high-end smartphone sales. That higher demand for Samsung's top-tier smartphones was able to offset slowing lower-end phone sales, although Samsung needed to increase its marketing cost to promote said top-tier phones.

Giant Auto Industry Disruption Ahead

Autonomous vehicles will cause fundamental shifts across a number of established industry segments tied to automotive, opening up big opportunities for chips and tools.

The move to self-driving vehicles over the next decade or so will result in a massive restructuring of entire segments of the global economy that have evolved to create and support automobiles and the people who drive them.

The shift will create many new jobs-particularly for semiconductors and electronic systems-and conservatively it will eliminate hundreds of thousands of existing ones. It will reshape entire communities and ecosystems. Perhaps even more consequential to existing automotive companies, it has the potential to upend established companies and replace them with others, including some that have played only limited roles in the automotive market.

Semiconductor stocks rise; Wynn Macau sinks after scandal

Reuters
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing shares were up almost 2% Monday.
Asian stocks pared gains by midday as the U.S. dollar lost some of its early momentum.

China and Hong Kong shares turned lower, with declines in the mainland led by small-cap companies listed in the country’s south, following comments from a regulator about clamping down on high-priced stocks. The Shenzhen Composite Index SHCOMP, -0.99% was down 1.4% and the Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index HSI, -0.56% was roughly flat.


Japanese stocks followed suit after their midday break, with the Nikkei NIK, -0.01% giving up a 0.5% gain to trade down slightly as the dollar’s rebound lost some steam.

The WSJ Dollar Index’s BUXX, +0.00% gains shrank to 0.2% by midday and the greenback fell to ¥108.80 from just below ¥109 earlier and ¥109.37 at Friday’s local stock-market close.

Last week, the dollar slid to a series of three-year lows, following comments from Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin that were interpreted as being accepting of a weaker dollar. The WSJ Dollar Index has fallen for seven straight weeks, the longest run since 2010.

Semiconductor stocks were stronger in Asia, building on Friday gains that were fueled by U.S. giant Intel ’s stock surge after its fourth-quarter report. Intel INTC, -0.18% reported record quarterly revenue, helped by strength in data-center demand.



South Korea’s Kospi SEU, +0.91% led gains in the region, increasing by 1.2%. Chip makers Samsung Electronics 005930, +0.87% and SK Hynix 000660, -0.26% were up by that much, the securities sector jumped an additional 3.8% and construction was up by more than 1%.

“Intel’s earnings and guidance should give some momentum into Korea tech, which is seeing a resurgence,” said S.K. Kim, an analyst at Daiwa Capital in Seoul.

Samsung Securities strategist Hyein Ok attributed the jump in tech stocks to large Korean institutional buyers, who are seeking to rebalance their portfolios by focusing on neglected sectors such as technology.

But for these chipmakers, half of their costs are also denominated in US dollars, giving these firms a natural hedge against the depreciating greenback.

“No doubt [their] earnings will be affected by the weak [US] dollar, but the impact will not be that big,” Foo told The Edge Financial Daily over the phone, saying previous financial results indicated foreign exchange gains were not all that significant when the US dollar was strong.
