As markets head toward year-end, the semiconductor sector continues to outpace broader indexes, powered by surging AI demand and a strong rally off November’s V-shaped bottom. In a recent conversation with MarketBeat, semiconductor expert Marc Chaikin shared his outlook for chips and highlighted three companies the Power Gauge currently favors based on its multi-factor ratings. For those interested in how these ratings are built, additional background is available through Marc’s research platform at the Power Gauge research page.
Marc noted that expectations for Fed rate cuts shifted sharply in November, sending stocks higher across large and small caps. “You had a spectacular rally in the market… and I think that’s going to continue into year-end,” he said.
