- Chip stocks are turning in a good day as Intel's Q1 report - it featured a revenue miss, in-line EPS, light Q2 guidance, solid margin and server CPU figures, and a capex budget cut - goes over well with a market that had low expectations following a March warning.
- Also: Analog/mixed-signal chipmaker Linear Technology is higher after beating FQ3 estimates, offering slightly soft guidance, and reporting healthy bookings
- After selling off in late March amid concerns about TSMC remarks and forex pressures, the Philadelphia Semi Index (SOXX +1.7%) is again within $4 of a high of $99.57. The Nasdaq is up 0.8%.
- Linear peers Texas Instruments (TXN +3.2%), Analog Devices (ADI +2.3%), Fairchild (FCS +3.4%), MagnaChip (MX +3.9%), Power Integrations (POWI +3.7%), InPhi (IPHI +4.2%), and ON Semi (ONNN +4%) are among today's standouts.
- Other gainers include Cree (CREE +3.9%), Audience (ADNC +8.5%), QuickLogic (QUIK +5.2%), Cavium (CAVM +3.1%), and reported Intel buyout target Altera (ALTR +2.4%). Audience (believed to supply a voice processor for the Galaxy S6) could be getting a lift from Samsung remarks about stronger-than-expected Galaxy S6 sales.
- Chip ETFs: SMH, XSD, PSI, SOXL, USD, SOXS, SSG
