The Chips are Down (and Up!)

The Motley Fool
About this episode

Chipmakers are seeing “extremely robust” AI-demand for chips, so why are industry suppliers like ASML missing the mark? 


(00:42) Jason Moser and Matt Argersinger discuss:

- The totally different outlooks for chipmaker Taiwan semi and equipment provider ASML and what it says about demand in the semiconductor market.

- Netflix’s ad-supported offering, and why live sports might keep pushing the company to new all-time highs. 

- Uber eying Expedia and air travel, and Amazon reaffirming it wants employees back in the office.


(19:03) What does CEO tenure have to do with shareholder returns? Bob Stark heads up the succession practice for Spencer Stuart – a leadership consulting firm – he’s also the author of The Life Cycle of a CEO. He and his team looked at performance of all chief executives at S&P 500 companies this century – and noticed some trends in company performance. 


(33:03) Jason and Matt break down two stocks on their radar: SEMRush and JP Morgan.
