TSMC's $39 Billion Wipeout Will Only Get Worse, Analysts Say
TSMC will struggle to plug the hole left by Apple Inc.’s declining smartphone orders in 2019, according to Sanford C. Bernstein’s Mark Li, who has told clients to prepare for the firm’s first annual profit drop in eight years. CGS-CIMB Securities’ Peter Chan, whose recommendation in October to sell the shares proved prescient, says TSMC’s still-high valuations will spook tech investors into owning cheaper alternatives in Asia and the U.S. instead. While a downturn is widely expected after Apple, its largest customer, cut its revenue outlook this month, another ugly quarter in 2019 could trigger more declines for the MSCI Emerging Market Index’s second-biggest stock.

AMD's CTO Talks to TheStreet About Next Gen Chips and Keeping Up With Rivals
Last week at CES, shortly after CEO Lisa Su unveiled a new high-end gaming GPU (the Radeon VII) and shared details about upcoming desktop and server CPUs, I had a chance to talk with AMD CTO Mark Papermaster about the announcements, as well as more generally about his company's product efforts. Papermaster's remarks about the feature sets of the Radeon VII and the company's first third-generation desktop CPUs can be found here, and takeaways from a November interview with Su can be found here. During our talk, Papermaster indicated that AMD's launch progression for 7nm Ryzen CPUs will be similar to the one it saw for its first-gen, 14nm, Ryzen CPUs, in 2017, with high-end desktop chips followed by cheaper desktop offerings, powerful Ryzen Threadripper CPUs for enthusiasts and workstation users and Ryzen Mobile notebook processors.

David Herro's 4th Quarter Oakmark Global Fund Commentary
The MSCI All Country Index entered bear market territory (i.e., down over 20% from its previous peak) in December. The only two emerging market stock indexes to be up for the year were Brazil and Russia, and the best performing developed market, the tiny New Zealand exchange, lost money, as did all other MSCI developed market indexes. Obviously, it was a challenging year, and the Oakmark Global Fund felt its downward drag.

Should Semiconductor Investors Worry about Apple’s Weak Guidance?
Semiconductor Stocks Plunge on Apple's Weak Revenue Guidance (Continued from Prior Part) ## What’s behind Apple’s downtrend? Previously, we saw that Apple (AAPL) has been hit by slowing iPhone demand, which sent the company’s stock on a downward path. The stock has fallen 36% to a new 52-week low of $142 between November 1, 2018, and January 3, 2019. The downtrend started on November 1 when the company reported lower-than-expected revenue guidance of $91 billion at the midpoint for the first quarter of fiscal 2019, which ended December 29, 2018. The steepest decline in Apple stock came on January 3 after the company revised its revenue guidance by 7.7% to $84 billion, representing a decline of 5% from a year ago. ## Semiconductor suppliers hit by Apple’s weak guidance Apple is one of the largest customers in the semiconductor industry. Companies like Qorvo (QRVO), Cirrus Logic (CRUS), and Skyworks (SWKS) depend heavily on the iPhone maker for revenue. Weak revenue from Apple will lower orders from the iPhone maker, thereby impacting suppliers’ earnings. Thus, stocks of the above three companies fell more than 8% on January 3. Broadcom (AVGO) also took a big hit, as it is one of Apple’s biggest suppliers and supplies various components for iPhones. As the smartphone market slowed, some suppliers reduced their dependence on Apple by diversifying their revenue streams, which mitigated the impact of Apple’s weak guidance on their stocks. The stock of Apple’s sole foundry partner for A12 processors, TSMC (TSM), fell 5.9% on January 3. TSMC has been increasing its exposure to high computing processors. The declines from Apple are likely to be offset by new orders from Qualcomm (QCOM) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). The stock of Intel (INTC), Apple’s sole modem supplier, fell 5.5% on January 3, as the latter’s modem business contributes little towards its revenue. Apple’s power management chip supplier, Texas Instruments (TXN), fell 5.9% on the same day, as the latter reduced its exposure to the iPhone maker by diversifying into automotive and industrial markets. The stocks of the above suppliers could recover from the January 3 fall but are likely to see another fall when Apple releases its fiscal 2019 first-quarter earnings on January 29. Thus, investors should keep an eye on Apple’s upcoming earnings. Check out all the data we have added to our quote pages. Now you can get a valuation snapshot, earnings and revenue estimates, and historical data as well as dividend info. Take a look!

zGlue pitches 'chiplets' to make custom chips for startups
A veteran of the world's two biggest chipmakers is hoping to make affordable custom silicon chips for startup companies by rolling out new software on Monday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Custom-designed chips power top-tier smartphones from companies such as Apple Inc and Huawei Technologies Ltd. But they are costly to design and difficult to make, requiring huge teams of engineers and years to complete, with special design software that can cost millions of dollars a year. Ming Zhang founded Mountain View, California-based zGlue Inc after a career at Intel Corp and the chipmaking division of Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, where he helped work on Intel's first mobile processors and the designs for some of Samsung's chips.

AMD Stock Rose 8% on Ryzen 3000 Series Announcement
AMD Stock Rose 8% on Ryzen 3000 Series Announcement ## AMD’s stock rockets on Ryzen 3000 Series announcement Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) started 2019 with the announcement of its new Ryzen 3000 H and U Series CPUs for gaming laptops and ultrathin notebooks at CES 2019 (the Consumer Electronics Show) on January 6. The excitement around the new CPU range saw AMD’s stock rise 19.5% in two days, with almost an 8% increase today. In our article dated December 31, we stated that AMD will be the showstopper at CES 2019 and that its product announcements would significantly increase its stock price. ## Reality different than rumors AMD’s stock rose even though the product announcements weren’t what had been anticipated. According to the rumor mill, the company was expected to announce its third-generation Ryzen CPUs and second-generation Vega GPUs for desktops. These chips were expected to be built on TSMC’s (TSM) 7nm (nanometer) node. AMD was also expected to offer a hint about its next-generation Navi GPU. But the reality was different than rumors. AMD launched its second-generation Ryzen 3000 series CPUs for laptops on GlobalFoundries’ 12nm node. AMD claims that its Ryzen 3000 series CPUs are faster than Intel’s (INTC) eighth-generation Core processors. On the GPU front, AMD made no mention of Navi—nor did it announce a 7nm Vega GPU for PCs at CES 2019. ## AMD’s other product announcements While AMD didn’t unveil any new GPU, it introduced two new seventh-generation A-series processors—the A6-9220C and the A4-9120C—for Chromebooks. The company also unveiled an entry-level Athlon 300U chip. AMD’s stock rose as the company expanded its mobile processor portfolio to target all levels of the laptop segment. AMD is likely to grow further in 2019 as it launches 7nm server processors and gains market share from Intel. Check out all the data we’ve added to our quote pages. Now you can get a valuation snapshot, earnings and revenue estimates, and historical data as well as dividend info. Take a look!
