Are These The Top Semiconductor Stocks To Invest In Today?

Even with inflation concerns chugging along, many would agree that semiconductor stocks remain relevant in the stock market today. After all, semiconductor chips are essentially the brains behind most of the tech surrounding us today. Not to mention, there is also the ongoing global shortage of semiconductor chips. The likes of which remain in demand across consumer and professional markets. As such, at a time where semiconductor stocks continue to recover from year-to-date losses, investors could be eyeing the industry.

For one thing, some of the biggest names in the space are not sitting idly by amidst all this as well. Take Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) for example. Yesterday, the company released its monthly revenue report. For the month, TSM reported a revenue of about $5.18 billion. This would mark a sizable 37.9% year-over-year increase for the company. On a year-to-date basis, TSM is seeing a 36.8% year-over-year jump in overall revenue so far. While all this is great, the company does not plan to slow down in the least bit on the operational end. As it stands, TSM is planning to invest up to $44 billion toward boosting manufacturing capacity and its workforce.

Likewise, other semiconductor firms like Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) remain hard at work expanding their portfolios. Namely, Qualcomm is now working with Chinese telco ZTE on end-to-end 5G time-sensitive networking (TSN) solutions for power grids. According to John Smee, SVP of Engineering at Qualcomm, open 5G TSN ecosystems such as this continue to benefit the industry. All in all, semiconductor chips are more in demand than ever and chip companies are upping their game accordingly. Could that make one of these semiconductor stocks top picks in the stock market now?
