MEMC shares up on forecast of higher prices
Tuesday September 13, 3:05 pm ET

MEMC Electronic Materials' shares continued rising Tuesday after an analyst report predicted higher prices of silicon wafers from a shortage of material.

As of 2:21 p.m. EDT Tuesday, the company's shares were up 48 cents, or 2.49 percent, to $19.76 a share. Monday, shares closed at $19.26 a share, or up nearly 8 percent.

Paul Leming, an analyst at Soleil Securities Group, said in a research note that the silicon wafer industry is facing the tightest pricing environment the industry has seen in 10 years, and he expects silicon wafer pricing to rise between 5 percent and 10 percent during 2006.

St. Peters, Mo.-based MEMC Electronic Materials Inc. (NYSE: WFR - News) manufactures wafers for the semiconductor industry.
