7 semiconductor stocks will benefit from the chip scarcity

Who would have thought that something so tiny could cause such a big problem? However, this is the case in the semiconductor industry. Chip manufacturers are facing supply chain disruptions due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Semiconductors are in great demand from the big technology companies that need the chips to power the servers for their data centers. But they are also needed for much of the technology we take for granted, including laptops, tablets, cell phones, game consoles, and automobiles – a sector that appears to be at the root of the current crisis.

Every weekend mechanic knows that even conventional cars with internal combustion rely heavily on electronics. In fact, electronic parts and components make up 40% of a new internal combustion vehicle. That has more than doubled since 2000.

It turns out, however, that some manufacturers may have overestimated when consumers would be ready for an “all-electric” future. And that meant that they weren’t predicting how much demand there would be for the kind of chips needed for everyday life, but rather important tasks like steering, braking, and even opening and closing windows.

Part of the problem is that US companies rely heavily on countries like China and Taiwan for their semiconductors. In fact, only about 12.5% ​​of semiconductor manufacturing is done in the United States.

This, of course, creates a tremendous opportunity for the companies that make these chips. And it comes at a good time. The semiconductor sector is notoriously cyclical and was driven by increased demand for the 5G roll-out.

In this particular presentation, we are giving you a list of seven semiconductor companies that you can invest in to take advantage of this opportunity.
