A credit insurance firm called Euler Hermes was stirring up some bullish sentiment on Monday when it released a report stating that the semiconductor industry will likely continue to show strength in 2022. The report went on to say that while these companies should perform well, there will be a normalization of demand and sales for technology such as televisions, computers, and video games, that spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also cited ongoing global supply chain issues, including the current lockdown in semiconductor chip fabrication hub Xian, China, as persistent problems that semiconductor companies will have to face.
