Chipmakers rally as new semiconductor equipment orders signal improving demand cycle
Semiconductor manufacturing stocks rallied after new data showed a meaningful uptick in equipment orders across foundries in Taiwan, South Korea and the United States. Analysts attribute the improvement to early-stage recovery in memory markets, expanding AI-related demand and stabilizing inventories. Equipment providers reported stronger bookings for advanced nodes, particularly for AI accelerators and high-bandwidth memory. Investors are cautiously optimistic, though supply-chain constraints and capex discipline remain critical variables. 
The sector’s rebound reflects strengthening confidence in next-generation chip capacity and renewed capital expenditure cycles across leading fabs.
