Rumour of AMD buying XilinxAMD would really benefit for Xilinx which makes great chips for autos, defence and telcos. Buying Xilinx would expand AMD's exposure to these sectors and their overall market. The deal is good, but only at the right price--if it happens. The AMD CEO is great. If the deal happens and AMD sells off, then he would buy.
(A Top Pick Dec 14/18, Up 53%) They are leaders in the field of programmable gateway array chips. Developers can customize the chips. They have taken 1/2 of their position. They will be buying back at $100. - 110.
Big data recommendation? On the hardware side, you have the chip manufactures and communication companies. On the processing side, he recommends XLNX-Q. On the software side you have cloud and data analytics. He recommends EQIX-Q. He thinks there will be more consolidation. He also likes ADBE-Q.
(A Top Pick Jan 22/19, Up 3%) One of his few semi-conductor holdings. They are the leader in integrated circuits. They are perfectly designed for 5G deployment and data centres. It is priced to perfection, as his target is $121.
It is a laggard. They pioneered field programmable gate arrays. They are now back to trend and the risk/reward looks pretty good. (Analysts’ price target is $108.10)
AMD has the weakest balance sheet among the semis, but is entering a deal with Xilinx to diversify away from PCs against a resurgent Intel. Xilinx, also, sells chips to different markets--cars, aerospace, healthcare. This deal makes sense.
The Xilinx-AMD merger, which is supposed to close by year's end. Whoever owns Xilinx will make a lot of money. He recommends AMD over Xilinx, because he doesn't like arbitrage risk. Take some profits on Xilinx.
