Semiconductor - Outlook remains subdued despite AI strengthMost semiconductor companies reported YoY sales decline, apart from NVDA , ASML, and AMAT.
Worst declines were the memory player with 50% YoY drop in revenue.
Only NVDA, ASML, AMD guided for YoY growth in 3Q23. Others are expecting contraction due to inventory adjustments and customer order pushouts.
Outlook for 3Q23 and 2H23 remains subdued, mainly dragged down by continued weakness in memory and slower-than-expected China recovery.
Strong AI-related business was the bright spot, but is still a small portion relative to the overall market.
