Stock Wars: The Rise of SemiCaps
Panel will explore the question “How Can An Investor NOT Own SemiCaps?” For most of our industry’s history, SemiCap stocks have been shunned and derided from being “feast or famine” cyclical investment vehicles, in which no investor gets credit for holding on during a downturn. For a few years leading up to 2018’s peak, some began to question whether the industry had ceased to be cyclical, and then the inevitable downturn struck, driving stocks down 40-50% by year-end 2018. As companies weathered the downturn in 2019 with strong profitability and positive cash flow, the stocks have more than recovered, surpassing their prior peak valuations in parallel with rising multiples. Are SemiCap stocks deserving of higher multiples? In fact, are SemiCap stocks the “must-own” safest-position technology/industrial investments for the next 5 years?
Panelists:
• Fred Lane, SVP Investments and Founder, Lane Generational of Raymond James
• Paul Wick, Portfolio Manager, Seligman Global Technology Fund, Columbia Investments
• Patrick Ho, Managing Director, SemiCap and Laser Equity Research, Stifel
• Tom Rohrs, Chairman of Ichor and Director, Advanced Energy and Intevac
