During yesterday's earnings call, Broadcom CEO
$AVGO said demand in the semiconductor market has been distorted by OEM's building inventory:
"The OEM, the end users, just go to our distributors and wipe out our inventory. So we show a resale growth of 55%, and we all know that's not real demand. People are building up buffer. There's a certain level of panic buying**.** Take that across all segments of semiconductor markets today" - Hock Tan - CEO
Once this panic buying subsides and companies looking to deplete their inventories order less, we could see a significant short-term decrease in demand for semiconductors.
