EBN and Thomas Weisel Partners have teamed up to create the Electronics Supply-Chain Stock Index, a comprehensive series of stock charts tracking the performance of key industry segments.
The charts, which will run in EBN each week as well as at the publication's Web site (www.ebnonline.com), will track the business segments of semiconductors, distribution, IP&E (interconnect, passive, and electromechanical components), electronics manufacturing services (EMS), and OEM products and subsystems. Along with the indexes, EBN will analyze the performance of a specific segment each week.
Online, the index will change continuously, and visitors will be able to track specific company stock quotes in each index.
The indexes were created by analysts at Thomas Weisel Partners, a research-driven merchant bank focused on the growth sectors of the economy, and by editors of EBN.
"While there are many high-tech-stock indexes available, we felt there was nothing that accurately tracks the performance of companies throughout the electronics supply chain," said Matthew Sheerin, EBN's editor in chief. "The experts at Thomas Weisel, and particularly partner Jim Savage, were instrumental in helping us properly tailor each index."
Thomas W. Weisel, chairman and chief executive of Thomas Weisel Partners, said: "Traditional indices tracking specific hardware sectors only get a partial picture of the electronics marketplace. When you add in the entire supply chain, you get a much broader picture of the market and a better understanding of the drivers of performance. We are proud to put our name behind instruments such as this index that exemplify our thought-leadership strategy in research."
