Denne ble først postet i tråden "Nyheter innen sol/semi", men fortjener sin egen post. Nettopp fordi folk plutselig er så redde for Buttes økonomiske fremtid pga en liten bølgedal vi har hatt. Vel, her er enda en indikasjon på at semimarkedet, som er den viktigste bidragsyteren til Buttes bunnlinje, er på bedringens vei.


North American Semiconductor Equipment Industry Posts October 2019 Billings

MILPITAS, Calif. — November 19, 2019 — North America-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted $2.11 billion in billings worldwide in October 2019 (three-month average basis), according to the October Equipment Market Data Subscription (EMDS) Billings Report published today by SEMI. The billings figure is 7.7 percent higher than the final September 2019 level of $1.96 billion, and is 3.9 percent higher than the October 2018 billings level of $2.03 billion.


“Monthly billings of North American equipment manufacturers registered their first year-over-year increase since October 2018 and are at their highest level since December of last year,” said Ajit Manocha, president and CEO of SEMI. “Equipment billings are accelerating on the strength of memory inventory drawdowns and foundry investments in leading-edge equipment.”
