Semis & hardware
Chipmakers and the gear that builds them — the AI-cycle epicentre.
Updated June 18, 2026
Semiconductor designers, equipment makers and hardware suppliers that rise and fall together on the chip cycle (anchored by SMH; NVDA, AMAT, LRCX, KLAC). The tightest, most powerful move-together group of the last decade and the all-weather performance leader — it beat the S&P 500 at every horizon we tested.
Cumulative excess return vs SPY — trailing 52 weeks
Average weekly rank — trailing 52 weeks (0 = bottom, 100 = top)
51 names cluster here, grouped purely by how their prices have moved together over the last five years (with the market’s common move removed) — not by GICS sector. Each row shows price change over 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 1 year, then the four SYMBOL-card scores: Perform (beat vs the S&P 500), Persist (how steadily it holds rank), Profit (business growth) and Pressure (money flow & volatility). Scores are percentiles from 0–100; greener is stronger.
