Semiconductor Stocks Turn Volatile As China Changes Guidelines: Here Are The Key Players
Portfolio Pulse from Surbhi Jain
China's new guidelines phasing out foreign microprocessors in government PCs and servers have caused volatility in semiconductor stocks, including AMD and Intel. Semiconductor ETFs like SMH, SOXX, and SOXL also experienced volatility. Despite this, Intel is highlighted for its favorable fundamentals compared to Nvidia, AMD, and Micron, with better P/E, Price/Sales, and EV/Sales ratios. However, Intel's technical indicators suggest a mixed outlook, with a bearish short-term trend but potential for medium to long-term growth.
