IBC: Alert -- Sitek and Applied Materials lead semis higher JAN 13, 2000, M2 Communications - Irvine, CA -- (www.ibchannel.com/ibcplus) -- Ibchannel.com reported today that semiconductor stocks were broadly higher today - Sitek (OTCBB: SITK) up over 6% and Applied Materials up over 3.5%. Experts at the annual Semiconductor Industry Strategy Symposium forecasted a banner year for semiconductor companies such as Applied Materials (Nasdaq: AMAT) and Sitek (OTCBB: SITK) that make the equipment and materials which in turn make the chips or electronic brains used in everything from desktop PCs to portable wireless telephones. Growth in the Industry Could Run up to 40% in 2000 With Several Years of Back-to-back Growth on the Horizon. Dan Rose, president of research firm Rose Associates, said that the upturn was so strong it was producing shortages of materials needed to make key components used in computing systems. He also said the companies that make silicon wafers, the foundation of most electronic devices, were starting to increase their prices because of the rising demand. Experts remarked the explosion could push growth in the industry by as much as 40 percent in 2000, depending on a number of factors. He said he could easily see growth in orders running 27 percent in 2000, and a similar percentage in 2001.
