This week’s GP Bullhound Tech Thoughts Newsletter, brought to you by Inge Heydorn and Ofelia Aspemyr, highlights the following: - The technology market correction was driven by heightened trade and political tensions with China - Nasdaq fell nearly 3%, and the PHLX semiconductor index 6.8%. Investments shifted from large-cap tech to other sectors, particularly small caps. - Despite the market sell-off, we remain optimistic as we believe estimates for 2024 and 2025 are still too low, and companies will grow into their valuations. - TSMC and ASML reported solid results with positive future outlooks, driven by AI demand and increased packaging capacity.

This week’s GP Bullhound Tech Thoughts Newsletter, brought to you by Inge Heydorn and Ofelia Aspemyr, highlights the following: a strong Q2 performance driven by AI demand: TSMC's Q2 sales (+40% Y/Y) exceeded expectations due to robust AI demand, while Foxconn's Q2 revenue (+19.1% Y/Y) was propelled by AI server demand. Taiwan's June exports rose by 23.5% Y/Y, fueled by US tech firms expanding their AI capabilities, with electronics for AI applications leading the growth. In the software segment, we observe a clear pattern of spending cautiousness, further evidenced by the recent results from Dassault Systèmes and UI Path.
