A Big Week Looms for Chip ETFs
The bulk of earnings reports expected to affect semiconductor stocks and the relevant exchange traded funds are still to come, but chip ETFs, such as the VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (SMH) and the iShares PHLX Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) , could face other tests this week. After languishing last year, semiconductor stocks are showing some signs of life early in 2019. “Options traders in the January series have piled on to underscore the significance of triple-digit territory for SMH, having accrued call open interest totaling 24,139 contracts at the 100 strike,” reports Schaeffer's Investment Research.

AMD Gives a Glimpse of Its 2019 Product Launches at CES 2019
AMD's 2019 Products Could Keep Intel and NVIDIA on Their Toes ## AMD stock The semiconductor industry has been in a downtrend since 2018, but one stock that has emerged as a winner among its peers is Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). AMD rose 79.6% in 2018, while the VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (SMH) fell 10.8%. AMD was stuck in a sell-off that sent the stock down 22% in December 2018. However, it recovered slightly by 7.2% in the first nine days of 2019. Many analysts and investors are optimistic about the stock and pessimistic about the semiconductor industry. On January 4, tech investor Paul Meeks told CNBC that he expects AMD stock to rise 50% within the next three years, which equates to $28 by 2022. He is optimistic about AMD, as he expects the company to gain some share in the server CPU (central processing unit) market from Intel (INTC) and some share in the gaming processor market from NVIDIA (NVDA). Because AMD is a small player in these markets, it has ample room to grow by picking up market share. To increase its share in the PC, server, and gaming markets, AMD is launching next-generation CPUs and GPUs (graphics processing unit). ## AMD’s announcements at CES 2019 The chip industry measures chip circuits in nanometers (one-billionth of a meter). The smaller the chip size, the better the performance and power efficiency. Until recently, Intel was the technology leader with the most advanced process node. However, a three-year delay in its 10 nm node allowed AMD to overtake Intel in terms of process node production. At the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show, AMD announced its 7 nm CPUs and GPUs, which set the stage for its growth in 2019. The company’s CEO, Lisa Su, announced the world’s first 7 nm desktop GPU, Radeon VII, which marks its entry into the high-end gaming segment. She also announced AMD’s third-generation Ryzen CPUs built on 7 nm nodes, which will compete with Intel’s ninth-generation CPUs. She stated that AMD is on track to ship its first 7 nm EPYC server CPU in mid-2019. In this series, we’ll look at the above product announcements and what they mean for investors.

Samsung Warning Deals Blow to Semiconductor ETFs
While the broader equity markets managed to maintain their rally, semiconductor stocks and sector-related ETFs retreated in response to Samsung's surprise profit warning due to weakening chip demand, following Apple's (AAPL) unexpected sales warning just last week. Samsung Electronics's operating profit revealed in its earnings guidance was significantly below market expectations, the Korea Times reports. Analysts believed the weak results were due to weakening memory chip prices and stagnating demand.

Semiconductor Stocks: Wrapping Up Their Performance This Year
Semiconductor Stocks: Wrapping Up Their Performance This Year ## This year brought market sell-offs This year has been a rollercoaster for the semiconductor industry, with the US-China trade war and the Fed’s interest rate hike prompting market sell-offs in four months—February, March, October, and December. These sell-offs sent the SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF (SPY) down 11.8% this year, and the VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (SMH) down 18%. The semiconductor industry, which has heavy exposure to China, was among the hardest hit. Some industry- and company-specific news also determined stocks’ performance. ## Top performers this year Amid the semiconductor industry’s weakness, two stocks outperformed others this year: Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), which rose 54%, and Xilinx (XLNX), which rose 20%. AMD stock rose on news that rival Intel (INTC) was facing a CPU (central processing unit) supply shortage, and that AMD’s manufacturing node was set to move ahead of Intel’s with the launch of its 7nm (nanometer) server processors in early 2019. Xilinx stock started rising on October 24 with the announcement of the company’s quarterly results. The company reported ~20% sequential growth in the data center and communication markets due to early deployment of 5G (fifth-generation) infrastructure. ## This year’s underperformers Weakness in the semiconductor market dragged down several stocks this year. NVIDIA (NVDA) topped the list, falling 35%. Marvell Technology (MRVL) and Micron Technology (MU) closely followed, falling 34% and 32%. Qualcomm (QCOM) also fell significantly. NVIDIA fell as the crypto bubble burst and its latest raytracing-enabled graphics cards faced technical issues, and Micron stock fell as the two-year-long memory upturn ended and memory prices began to fall. Qualcomm stock fell as it lost Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone modem orders amid the companies’ ongoing licensing dispute. In this series, we’ll look at what 2019 could bring for semiconductor stocks.
