Prudential predicted that over the next six months year-over-year industry revenue growth will decelerate and interest rates will increase. They figured this out all by themselves? I think they deserve a prize for outstanding analysis.

RE: "...rising rates will be positive for semi stocks..." People who believe this, taken out of context, are the target group for this blurb and Prudential's favorite prospects. We all know that price multiples will contract from here as revenue and profits increase substantially. We all know that revenue growth rates will slow from the jump off the trough. We all know that earnings will be the "primary drivers of performance". Tell us something we don't know, like how is fab capacity likely to grow compared to demand for chips.
