SEMICONDUCTOR SCOREBOARD

Start with the differences

Methodology & coverage ↗

Ordered by AI exposure. No composite score or overall ranking.

WHAT CHANGED / WHY / WHAT NEXT

Current signals: growth is not cash

Who converts growth into cash?

ASML FCF margin: 97.3%(2026 Q3)。Highest among 10 covered companies; collection timing, taxes and definitions matter.

Growth × FCF →

Check acceleration

NVDA: ↑ Accelerating (+21.0pt)。Change in revenue YoY versus the prior quarter. Two consecutive quarters, not a four-quarter trend.

History and gaps →

What could weaken the picture?

Even stable AI demand can coexist with changes in pricing, supply and investment burden. Track GPU demand, memory pricing and equipment orders separately.

Slowdown transmission →

SUPPLY / DEMAND BALANCE

Where is semiconductor supply falling short?

Demand and supply both grow, but the timing of balance differs by product and process.

Official disclosures reviewed: 2026-11-04 · Qualitative map including company outlooks; reviewed separately from automated financial updates.

This schematic shows process relationships. Arrow size does not encode volume or rank bottleneck severity.

Select a cell for evidence. Colors classify disclosures, not shortage percentages.

First output ≠ immediate balance

  1. 2027

    Micron: Singapore HBM packaging in early 2027; ID1 initial output in mid-2027.

  2. 2028

    Micron: ID2/Japan DRAM in late 2028; Singapore NAND in H2 2028.

  3. After ramp starts

    Management says meaningful supply follows initial output by several quarters. Opening dates do not establish balance.

Demand, supply and what to watch

HBM
Demand
AI demand; most 2027 supply contracted.
Supply
Singapore packaging starts in early 2027.
Interpretation
Contract coverage is not an industry shortage ratio.

Micron FQ4 2026 earnings deck ↗ · 2026-09-30

Micron FQ1 2026 earnings deck ↗ · 2025-12-17

DRAM
Demand
Demand growth outpaces supply.
Supply
ID1: mid-2027; ID2/Japan: late 2028.
Interpretation
Initial output precedes meaningful volume.

Micron FQ4 2026 earnings deck ↗ · 2026-09-30

NAND / SSD
Demand
Data-center SSD demand expands.
Supply
New Singapore output: H2 2028.
Interpretation
Shipment growth is not a supply-demand gap.

Micron FQ4 2026 earnings deck ↗ · 2026-09-30

Leading-edge logic
Demand
TSMC reports demand above capacity.
Supply
Expansion focuses on advanced nodes.
Interpretation
Do not extrapolate to all nodes or fabs.

TSMC Q3 2026 earnings call ↗ · 2026-10-15

Advanced packaging
Demand
Customers move to larger packages.
Supply
5x reticle in production; 9x/14x in development.
Interpretation
Technology progress does not measure a supply gap.

TSMC Q3 2026 earnings call ↗ · 2026-10-15

TSMC page 12: technology and capacity strategy, not a disclosed shortage ratio.

Lithography
Demand
Some customers express 2029–2030 order interest.
Supply
Planned expansion still falls short in 2027–2028.
Interpretation
Equipment supply is not chip output.

ASML Q3 2026 results ↗ · 2026-10-14

Mature nodes / commodity chips
Demand
Further end-market evidence needed.
Supply
Do not extrapolate leading-edge tightness.
Interpretation
Unverified does not mean balanced or surplus.

Issuer outlooks are not established market-wide facts. DRAM includes HBM; do not add them. No shortage percentages or overall market scores are calculated without comparable measured demand and supply.

HARDWARE PRICE MONITOR

How are memory, CPU and GPU prices moving?

Long term: monthly memory and SSD prices

The default is two years. Coverage starts in November 2019 for DDR4, June 2022 for DDR5, August 2022 for NVMe SSDs and July 2021 for SATA SSDs.

These are monthly median price levels with a changing product mix, not like-for-like inflation rates. Historical coverage includes products still sold in 2026. This series is not spliced into the daily indices below.

ORDERS / CAPACITY / 2028

Is 2028 production already fully booked?

Supply constraints extend into future years in some areas. Public evidence does not establish that all ten companies have sold every 2028 production slot.

Orders and supply evidence reviewed: · Official evidence reviewed separately from automated financial refresh

Agreement: specified scope onlyConstraint: management outlookPlans / targets / interestUnverified ≠ available capacity

NVIDIA FY2028 largely falls in calendar 2027; it is not relabeled as calendar 2028. Broadcom’s 10 GW is a deployment target; AMD’s 6 GW is a multiyear customer agreement. Neither is company-wide annual capacity coverage.

Ten-company order indicators, contract scope and next checks
Supply constraint

ASML · Lithography-system supply

2027–2028: planned supply below demand

Management expects a supply shortfall even with planned expansion; some customers want to place 2029–2030 orders.

All 2028 slots sold? Not established

This is a demand/supply outlook, not a disclosed 2028 firm-order fill rate. Order interest is not accepted backlog.

Next checks
Capacity execution, delivery-year backlog, cancellations and deferrals

Scoped agreement

MU · DRAM, NAND and HBM

26 SCAs / >35% of expected revenue through 2030

Signed long-term purchase agreements, some extended into 2031. Management expects tighter industry supply in calendar 2027–2028 than in 2026.

All 2028 slots sold? Not established

The >35% figure is multiyear expected revenue coverage, not 2028 capacity allocation. Full 2026 HBM price/volume agreements do not establish a 2028 sellout.

Next checks
SCA volumes/pricing, HBM yearly contracts and 2028 fab ramps

Financial comparison →
Plan / target

TSM · Leading-edge nodes and packaging

Strong demand / higher 2026–28 investment

Management describes a substantial demand/supply gap and expands capacity while checking customer plans, data-center construction and power.

All 2028 slots sold? Not established

Strong leading-edge demand does not prove all 2028 capacity across nodes and fabs is contracted.

Next checks
Node/CoWoS capacity, binding reservations and ramp dates

Financial comparison →
Own procurement

NVDA · GPUs/systems; outsourced supply

Supply/capacity commitments $279B

Procurement obligations as of 2026-07-26. Management projects roughly 70% FY2028 revenue growth constrained by supply.

All 2028 slots sold? Not established

Procurement commitments are not customer backlog. FY2028 largely covers calendar 2027; it does not establish a calendar-2028 sellout.

Scoped agreement

AMD · OpenAI GPU agreement

Multiyear 6 GW OpenAI agreement

The agreement covers multiple product generations, with the first 1 GW deployment starting in H2 2026.

All 2028 slots sold? Not established

6 GW is the cumulative scope for one customer, not AMD-wide 2028 capacity coverage or annual shipment allocation.

AVGO · OpenAI custom-AI collaboration

10 GW / H2 2026–2029 deployment target

Disclosed co-development/supply collaboration and a term sheet for rack deployment.

All 2028 slots sold? Not established

A deployment target is not firm backlog or proof that all 2028 capacity is sold.

Backlog

AMAT · Equipment and service contracts

Backlog $15.002B (2025-10-26)

FY2025 backlog: systems $7.105B, services $7.141B, other $0.756B. About 31% was not expected to be fulfilled within the following 12 months.

All 2028 slots sold? Not established

Historical annual-report snapshot, not current backlog. It includes services and cannot be converted into 2028 equipment-capacity coverage.

IP contract metric

ARM · IP licensing contract metric

ACV $1.732B (FY2027 Q1)

Annualized committed fees for active licensing agreements; excludes future royalties.

All 2028 slots sold? Not applicable to this metric

ACV is neither backlog, revenue nor wafer capacity. It cannot establish 2028 production sellout.

Next checks
Renewals, royalty conversion and customer chip shipments

QCOM · Automotive design wins

Automotive design-win pipeline ~ $45B

Company design-win pipeline disclosed on 2026-03-19.

INTC · Data-center CPUs and 14A

DC supply constraints / demand-led 14A investment

Q3 report describes excess demand for some DC products. 14A expansion depends on internal requirements and external customer commitments.

All 2028 slots sold? Not established

Current CPU shortages and process development are not evidence that 2028 external foundry capacity is sold.

PROFITABILITY / CASH FLOW

Growth and cash generation together

Further right means faster growth; higher means a larger FCF margin. Quarterly working capital can distort comparisons. Automated FCF uses operating cash flow minus capital expenditure, separate from issuer-adjusted FCF.

Revenue YoY (%) × FCF margin (%)

10/10 companies with both values. Different period ends apply. Forecast P/E and historical EPS growth use different horizons.

RELATIVE VALUATION

How much is priced in for growth?

Forward P/E is price divided by next fiscal-year consensus EPS, not next twelve months. ASML uses its EUR Euronext quote; TSMC uses USD ADR EPS. EPS growth is historical GAAP, so its horizon and accounting basis differ from forecast P/E. EV multiples, PEG and FCF yield remain unavailable.

AI SLOWDOWN RESILIENCE

How an AI capex slowdown could spread

Qualitative relative resilience, not a stock-loss estimate, default probability or trade recommendation. The lenses are demand concentration, diversification, fixed costs and capex; profit sensitivity is not estimated.

Expand resilience assessments for all ten companies

NVDA Low

Direct AI infrastructure dependence combines with large-customer spending cycles. High margins provide a buffer, not immunity.

Evidence ↗

AVGO Medium

Custom AI and networking are directly exposed; software diversifies demand. Customer concentration remains a watch point.

Evidence ↗

AMD Low

Accelerator growth expectations combine with competitive investment needs, partly buffered by PCs and embedded products.

Evidence ↗

TSM Medium

Multiple customers and end markets provide a buffer; fab fixed costs and capex increase utilization sensitivity.

Evidence ↗

ASML Medium

Service and upgrades provide a buffer, while new systems remain exposed to capex deferrals and export restrictions.

Evidence ↗

MU Low

Memory pricing cycles combine with capital-intensive manufacturing; current profitability depends on pricing and supply balance.

Evidence ↗

AMAT Medium

Process breadth and services provide a buffer, with exposure to equipment-order deferrals and China restrictions.

Evidence ↗

ARM Medium

End-market diversification and IP income help; licensing timing, concentration and R&D spending affect quarterly earnings.

Evidence ↗

QCOM High

Handsets, auto, IoT and licensing diversify demand. This is resilience to AI capex slowdown, not to a handset downturn.

Evidence ↗

INTC Low

Fab fixed costs and process investment combine with PC demand risk; CPU diversification alone does not remove manufacturing intensity.

Evidence ↗
Geopolitical risk and stress scenarios

China exposure, export controls and Taiwan concentration are unrated across all ten companies pending comparable evidence. The data interface supports −20% and −30% AI capex scenarios, but revenue sensitivities remain unverified and no impacts are displayed.

FOLLOW THE VALUE CHAIN

METHODOLOGY / SOURCES

What can and cannot be compared yet

Editorial review of qualitative analysis and guidance: 2026-11-03

Metrics and periods

Revenue and diluted EPS use YoY changes; margins use quarterly consolidated results. GAAP/TIFRS and adjusted earnings are not mixed. Automated FCF is operating cash flow minus capital expenditure; retained issuer metrics carry their source definitions. No FX conversion: TSMC uses TWD, ASML EUR, others USD. ROIC is unavailable.

Qualitative rules

AI exposure: very high means direct AI infrastructure demand is a principal growth channel; high covers advanced manufacturing, memory, equipment or mixed-use data centers; medium covers IP and device channels. These are not estimated revenue shares.

Resilience: high indicates diversified demand beyond AI capex; medium combines buffers with investment cyclicality; low indicates multiple pressures from direct demand, competitive spending, pricing cycles or fixed costs. This does not predict future loss magnitudes.

Momentum, expectations and attention

Acceleration is the change in revenue YoY across consecutive quarters; within ±1 percentage point is stable. Missing history remains unrated. Surprises require pre-release consensus. Attention: ★★★ broad market/AI spending, ★★ several supply-chain stages, ★ peers or end markets; editorial assessments.

Data coverage

Revenue YoY 10/10, operating margin 10/10, FCF margin 10/10, forward P/E 10/10. Missing data is never zero or neutral.

Consensus EPS, revenue, quotes and quarterly financials are refreshed automatically. Our pre-release archives start with this implementation; historical provider records are not retrospectively labeled as our pre-release captures. Stock reactions and quantified geopolitical comparisons remain unavailable.
