EL SEGUNDO, CA — The U.S. in 2006 is expected to maintain its lead in the worldwide
electronics equipment design with the nation’s activities in this area
driving the most semiconductor purchasing of any country, according to
new data from iSuppli Corp. However,
China’s rapid growth in
electronic-design-generated semiconductor purchasing activity is continuing and
the country is closing the gap, the research firm said.
“Design of electronic goods leads
directly to equipment production, which in turn drives semiconductor purchasing.
Companies that engage in design of electronic equipment, such as PCs, mobile
phones and televisions, also are responsible for specifying the use of
particular chips in the products being developed,” said Min-Sun Moon, OEM spend analyst for iSuppli. “Thus,
these companies and the nations where they operate have a major influence on
global semiconductor spending.”
ST. PETERSBURG, FL -- Jabil Circuit today beat revenue expectations, reporting fourth quarter sales of $3 billion, a 50% gain in revenue year-over-year. Full financial results for
the quarter will be delayed due to ongoing investigations into the
timing of past stock option grants.
The figures beat The Street's estimates of $2.8 billion. However, organic growth is expected to slow from 32% in fiscal 2006 to
11% in fiscal 2007, due in part to the end of a large contract with Philips.
