Euro semiconductors are the weakest sector today. So it's extremely likely that some of that negativity is pressuring U.S. futures this morning.

Ben Funnell

People were so pessimistic about the PC market and semiconductors going into 2005 but it's not as bad as people were expecting. That's showing in Intel's numbers.

Tai Nguyen

We generally have had a good feeling going into the third and fourth quarters because the economy is doing better than expected. Semiconductors are going to get a boost from seasonal trends.

Cody Acree

On the upside, at least the buyers are stepping back in and it isn't just all sellers. We're seeing buying in gold stocks, energy, semiconductors and other oversold names. There's also a lot of economic data coming down the pipe in the next few days and that should give us more to chew over.

Bryan Piskorowski

Semiconductors have been lagging and historically tech stocks have not done well heading into the summer.

Sasha Kostadinov

Tech has been hit hard this year, with the semiconductors down nearly 40 percent, so we've been seeing this rise recently. What's in question is whether this is just a much-deserved bounce after the weak performance, or if this is something more. It's not clear yet.

Doug Sandler

Our record results reflect customers' investments in expanded capacity to meet increasing semiconductor demand and in advanced technologies to provide more powerful, portable and affordable semiconductors.

James Morgan

Semiconductors are what's leading the charge.

Doug Myers

The upside in the semiconductors didn't happen. Some people were expecting it given the strong handset sales in the Christmas season.

Jane Snorek

Their work on the design side of semiconductors is strong. They are growing faster than their peers and they have a lot of movement and momentum right now.

Robert Bacarella

It was not so very long ago that people thought that semiconductors were part-time orchestra leaders and microchips were very, very small snack foods.

Geraldine A. Ferraro

Motorola's growth in sales has continued to accelerate, and our earnings are on an improving trend. We are especially pleased by the results in our new Broadband Communications Sector, which was formed after the merger with General Instrument, the improvements in our network systems business, and the sequential growth in quarterly earnings for semiconductors.

Robert Growney

I'm very pleased that we have managed to transform the company from a broad-line general producer of semiconductors that was struggling in the mid '80s from Japanese competition and turned it into a highly-focused company....,

Andrew Grove

Semiconductors are doing well and those chips are going into Dell computers.

Matthew Kelmon

[Semiconductors] are an area that people saw as the premier growth area in the past. Anytime there's good news, people assume this is going to resume its growth and they rush back in. There's no fundamental pattern that would explain why they're up so much today.

Machine-to-machine communications is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the industry, and Wavecom's products are recognised for their high quality and technology leadership. Wavecom also complements a number of our existing product ranges, including microsystems, semiconductors and RF products.

Steve Carr

While information technology products will continue to be the largest market sectors for semiconductors, consumer products will be the major growth-drivers in the years ahead.

George Scalise

Compared with previous quarters, which were heavily dominated by software and semiconductors, we're seeing a mix of companies receiving dollars. It's good to see diversity, because it means we're not relying too heavily on one sector.

Randy Stone

Those are the ones that are very cyclical, and the economy has a big impact, but they become very cheap, ... Companies like some of the commodity semiconductors, the integrated device technology types.
