Best Semiconductor Stocks Today

Semiconductor stocks are a key part of the global economy. In fact, some economists call semiconductors the “new oil.” As increasing demand in semiconductors continues and as companies try to mitigate semiconductor shortages, the semiconductor sector has significantly outperformed the stock market. To find out which companies are leading the semiconductor sector, we looked at the 30 US listed semiconductor companies included in the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index (SOX) and identified which companies are the top performing semiconductor stocks (100% gain or more) since the end of the pandemic induced bear market (i.e. March 23, 2020). Companies with a market cap of less than $50 billion have been excluded since larger companies tend to have better access to resources which could prove helpful in this fast changing sector. The resulting list contains 12 semiconductor stocks with gains ranging from 104.6% to 260.3% and an average of 177.4%.
