Nomura Securities Global Semi Monitor by Romit Shah

Shah said, "Expect semi companies will likely guide June qtr revenues broadly in-line with consensus, which is forecasting revenue growth of 3% vs seasonality of 5%. We believe this will be a short-term positive for the group given consensus expectations for negative estimate revisions. The exceptions are Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) (Neutral rated) and Texas Instruments (NYSE: TXN) (Reduce rated). While backlog is solidly higher q/q due to double-ordering at select OEMs, we do not view the strength in bookings as sustainable due to weak end demand. Furthermore, checks in Asia and the US support our view that sell-through is weaker across multiple end markets. We continue to view the risk/reward in US semi stocks as not favorable, and are cautious on TXN given positioning in wireless, as well as INTC and Marvell (Nasdaq: MRVL) (both Neutral) due to weak PC trends and share loss in wireless."
