Global semiconductor sales hit a record $517.7 billion in Q3 2026, surging 24.1% quarter-over-quarter and 146.8% year-over-year, driven by robust AI infrastructure investment. Four semiconductor stocks—Analog Devices, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Texas Instruments, and NVIDIA—are positioned to capitalize on elevated demand and strong growth opportunities in the sector.
Chip stocks have historically risen in the year following midterm elections, with the PHLX Semiconductor Index gaining an average of 42% across the past eight cycles.
