Amkor is becoming a bellwether stock in the semiconductor business because it owns more than 30% of the market share in independent chip packaging and testing business. AMKR is also one of the 62 leading publicly-traded semiconductor companies that comprise the newly created global stock index -- SEMIndex representing 2300 semiconductor companies with more than $200 billion worldwide revenue. Imagine what it means to the chip industry when Amkor's gives a good earning report. If Amkor does so after today's market close, it will push the SEMIndex to a new height and put another nail to the coffin of the three-year semiconductor recession.
