Chip equipment makers book $1.02B July orders (AMAT, KLAC, NVLS, LRCX, TER) By Matt Andrejczak
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- North American chip equipment suppliers booked $1.02 billion worth of orders in July, down 36% from a year-ago, trade group SEMI said Friday. That equates to a book-to-bill ratio of 0.93. The book-to-bill ratio is a key measure of demand. A figure above 1.0 is bullish because it means that orders for new equipment are accelerating and suggests chip companies anticipate increased demand for their products. "The current data suggests that semiconductor manufacturers continue to remain somewhat cautious about increased capital spending as we enter the second half of the year," said SEMI President and Chief Executive Stanley T. Myers.
