Semi Short Interest At Record High; It’s Future Rally Fuel

Posted by Eric Savitz

Short interest in semiconductor stocks in March jumped 9.5% from February, Merrill Lynch chip analyst Joe Osha noted in a research brief this morning. The total short interest in the sector has now tops the previous record, set in July 2003.

Osha notes that the previous peak came exactly at a bottom in industry unit growth. Osha thinks this time unit growth should bottom in March or April. “We may be wrong by a month or two, but not more than that,” he writes. “By the time company managements start admitting that business improving, unwinding the all-time high short position in our coverage universe is likely to drive a substantial move up in the SOX.”

Biggest chip sector sequential short-interest increases:

Xilinx (XLNX) +108%
Intersil (ISIL) +56%
Monolithic Power (MPWR) +38%
Altera (ALTR) +36%
