Bible 3Q22: Smartphones: Semiconductor inventory correction just started – expect further downside.

Our Tech Bible is a must-read for any tech investor. It wraps up all what the >130 companies we track have reported and said and provides an update on our key perspectives and convictions, in light of what we learnt.
We publish today the first section on smartphones. Demand deteriorated rapidly for Android and in Europe, remained weak in China. The high-end and the U.S. are performing better than the broader market. An inventory correction in semis just started, and we expect further downside next year, as 2021 and this year have been inflated by a significant inventory build up.
