He looks at performance in 1-, 6- and 12-month time frames. The 1- and 6 months were negative, but over 12 months the stock is up 55%. Actually, he insists it was positive over the past month. (The host insists it is down the past month, but it depends on precisely which days and times of the day are noted for the calculations.)
Just bought it. Semis were the most punished class when tariffs hit earlier this year. The impact hit semis equipment companies like this, but it hit its 52-week high in July. He prefers buying names that have recently made highs, not months ago (like Applied Materials). Momentum has returned to the semis.

Recently sold it from his fund, but this morning bought it for himself because of positioning and momentum. You must buy this today. Revenue growth has flattened though, and Apple's weighting in the market is a problem because Apple is so large. A lot of people, on this news, will now buy this stock. Also, since early April, the stock has been resilient.
