TOP PICK

European chip manufacturer. They are a supplier of chips to the self driving cars. This is all next gen. Everyone points to the number of self driving cars that will be on the road in the future. It has big bottom line growth as well. (Analysts’ target: $17.50).

COMMENT

Tech component names are cyclical and there are issues on whether tax reform will be passed in order for them to repatriate dollars, but on the whole, he is constructive on this.

TOP PICK
Swiss firm, pretty big. 25% of revenues from next generation of chips, silicone carbide. Run faster with less energy, but more expensive. A leader, though they do other stuff too. Geared toward auto industry, sensors, microcontrollers. Largest supplier to TSLA. Price target of $52. Yield is 0.63%. (Analysts’ price target is $53.67)
BUY
They make faster, smaller, more efficient silicon carbide chips, used in EV's and self-driving cars. A major client is Tesla.

Disappointing. Like a smaller Intel. Their products are in Apple phones and Tesla cars. They use silicon carbide which last longer and use less heat. Targets $55.50. Still likes it.
