Semiconductor Sector Scorecard - Global Thematic Research
Semiconductor Sector Scorecard - Global Thematic Research
Summary
The single most important investment theme to impact earnings for the chip sector over the last five years has been mobile and it remains important . Over the next five years, several themes will impact sector earnings, including the cloud, internet TV, the Internet of Things, mergers & acquisitions, cyber security, software defined networking and the rise of Chinese chip designers.
Aside from the technology risks – which are company specific – the main investment risks for the semiconductor sector are corporate governance (e.g. family control of large conglomerates like Samsung) and political risk (e.g. trade wars, unfair anti-competitive rulings and protectionist policies).
Inside this report, we look at three screens: a thematic screen, a risk screen and a valuation screen and best investment ideas in the semiconductor sector.
Scope
This report is part of our ecosystem of thematic investment research reports, supported by our “thematic engineâ€.
About our Thematic Research Ecosystem
GlobalData has developed a unique thematic methodology for valuing technology, media and telecom companies based on their relative strength in the big investment themes that are impacting their industry. Whilst most investment research is underpinned by backwards looking company valuation models, GlobalData’s thematic methodology identifies which companies are best placed to succeed in a future filled with multiple disruptive threats. To do this, GlobalData tracks the performance of the top 600 technology, media and telecom stocks against the 50 most important themes driving their earnings, generating 30,000 thematic scores. The algorithms in GlobalData's “thematic engine†help to clearly identify the winners and losers within the TMT sector. Our 600 TMT stocks are categorised into 18 sectors. Each sector scorecard has a thematic screen, a risk screen and a valuation screen. Our thematic research ecosystem has a three-tiered reporting structure: single theme, multi-theme and sector scorecard. This report is a Sector Scorecard, which aims to identify overall winners and losers in a sector based on all themes impacting that specific sector. Live scorecards for each of our 18 sectors are available on our client portal
