Semiconductor revenues through January are behaving as Objective Analysis predicted in October
There has been a slight delay in the collapse, but overall, the collapse is very nearly following its predicted course.
Large memory makers will be the hardest hit, followed by processor vendors


Semiconductor Collapse Is Following Predicted Course

<ul>
<li>2022 was characterised by a historically strong H1 followed by a far weaker H2</li>
<li>The current downturn is impacting memory, PC and smartphone shipments the hardest</li>
<li>2023 is shaping up to be the reverse of 2022, i.e. historically weak H1 with recovery in H2</li>
