This is the weekly update for the SOXM stocks in terms of earnings estimates, growth estimates, and price changes sorted by price percent change. This week, the SOXM performed much better than the Group and the SOX wound up even better yet. Both the SOXM and the SOX were given a big boost this week by the proposed takeover of ATHR by QCOM. This placed ATHR in top place with a 24.4 percent gain. Note that ATHR was up nearly $9 a share over the week. This was a very big part of the SOXM gain of nearly $12 dollars at the bottom line, or 2.1 percent. This performance along with the obviously good performance of the other SOX stocks not in the SOXM group, resulted in a gain of the SOX of nearly 14 points, or 3.4 percent. Note the big disparity this week between the SOX and SMH gains.
