According to Oriental Daily News, with the narrowing decline of global semiconductor chip sales in February , as well as the major semiconductor industry's guidelines, the analyst is optimistic about prospects of the field in the long-term.The global semiconductor chip sales have a monthly decline of 7.3 percent to $ 22.9 billion in February. The level of January data is slightly improved (January global semiconductor chip sales fell 8.8 percent year-on-year). Meanwhile, in terms of monthly comparison, it is down from 2.7 percent in January to 1.3%. This shows that the decline in chip sales have bottomed out due to inventory replenishment and strong sales growth of the wafer.Similarly, analyst of RHB Research is optimistic about the production index of the field of information and communication technology (ICT) in Taiwan in February. The strong sales growth of TSMC in February may be a leading indicator chip demand has picked up, in view of its position in the forefront of the supply chain.According to market research iSuppli's data, inventory levels will be improved in the first quarter of 2012, because the average inventory turnover days quarterly (DaysofInventory) materials fell 0.5 percent to 3.7 days. This is because the demand picks up, as well as the continuing inventory adjustment. As inventory levels decline to the desired level，it is expected a more robust demand at second quarter of 2012 may drive demand for chips rebound because manufacturers have begun to inventory replenishment.Although the semiconductors is still a lack of earnings visibility in short term, but analysts believe that the current decline has bottomed out.Looking ahead, guided by the major technology industry, such as Taiwan's TSMC, Jabil, analysts believe that the field is heading toward recovery. |
