Chips (MU) (INTC) (BRCM) (TSM) (XLNX) Under Pressure
Citing growing chip inventories, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) says after supply checks it appears the chip sector and companies like Micron (NASDAQ:MU), Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:TSM), Xilinx (NASDAQ:XLNX), Broadcom (NASDAQ:BRCM) and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) are under pressure as chip demand falls.
Goldman noted that Taiwan Semiconductor and China-based Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC) have seen declining demand since the latter part of February.
The rise in chip inventories seems to be be largely across the industry, according to Goldman, and not company-specific events.
Xilinx (XLNX) was trading at $35.48, falling $0.25, or 0.70 percent. Broadcom (BRCM) was at $33.94, down $0.20, or 0.59 percent. Intel (INTC) was at $22.85, dropping $0.40, or 1.70 percent. Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) was trading at $13.70, down $0.05, or 0.36 percent. Micron (NASDAQ:MU) was at $10.49, declining $0.38, or 3.50 percent.
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Applied Micro (NASDAQ:AMCC) went against the grain today, as they're both trading in positive territory as of 2:19 PM EDT.

Buy (ADI) (TSM) (INTC) (LLTC) For Dividends?
Not too many investors think of dividends in relationship to tech stocks, but there are a few out there that give a decent return while still retaining growth.
Companies like Analog Devices (NYSE:ADI) and Linear Technologies (Nasdaq:LLTC) offer a dividend over 2 percent, while still generating returns in the double-digits.
Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:TSM) is another such company, which should enjoy growth for some time into the future.
Intel (Nasdaq:INTC) at this time has a current yield of close to 3.4%. While many believe Intel is doomed because of missing the initial surge in sales of of tablets and smartphones, we're really only at the beginning of that revolution, and there's a lot of time to adjust and grow there, assuming the devices really will last over the long run.
Analog Devices was trading at $37.98, up $0.06, or 0.16 percent, as of 2:14 PM EST. Taiwan Semiconductor was at $12.12. up $0.02, or 0.12 percent. Linear Technology was trading at $33.37, up $0.27, or 0.82 percent. Intel was at $20.84, gaining $0.05, or 0.26 percent.
